What places get to define vacancy? – A discussion between Maurice Cox and Mio Tsuneyama



Vacancy is a condition that encompasses both vacant buildings and vacant lands. While these two share commonalities, they relate to distinct social contexts and offer different possibilities for cities and rural locations that exceed their typical associations with blight and under development.

On 15 January 2026, Maurice Cox and Mio Tsuneyama drew on diverse experiences and concrete realities of vacancy across borders and urban contexts. This event marked the beginning of the CCA-WRI Research Fellowship Program: Vacancy, that over the course of 2026 will welcome three fellows at the CCA pursuing relevant research projects.
