Episode Details

When major disasters displace millions, the default response is still a sea of white tents — but the technology for dignified emergency housing already exists. This episode examines China's foldable container homes deployed within days of the January 2025 Tibet earthquake, Turkey's container cities built for millions after the February 2023 earthquakes, and Gaza's tent camps, where flooding and disease spread after the 2025 ceasefire. The engineering is solved. The logistics are proven. So why do tents persist? The answer comes down to cost horizons, political will, and who gets treated as deserving of walls.
