Quotes by Reema Patel (?)

“What myths contribute to our ideas about who is entitled to occupy land, and who isn’t?”
― Reema Patel, Such Big Dreams

“The urban poor’s overreliance on social networks for security and support is derived, in part, from the erosion of their trust in government, which is usually warranted. Evictions, demolitions, and removals, as well as patronage and corruption, have all served to undermine the establishment of robust urban governance. Together with rising land prices, and poor-quality and crumbling services, they have given rise to a sense of insecurity and social exclusion, which can erode social connectivity.”
― Reema Patel, Such Big Dreams
