The panel discussion (in English) will be moderated by Prof. David Bassens (VUB) and FairFin contributor Jozef Vandermeulen will enter into a discussion with 3 experts::
- Sarah De Laet, geographer and activist at Action Logement Bruxelles and former coordinator of Inter Environnement Bruxelles
- Kristiaan Borret, Brussels master builder
