About me
Arild Eriksen (b. 1973) is a Norwegian architect, writer, and researcher whose work explores the relationship between architecture, society, and urban development. Trained as an architect, he combines professional practice with critical writing and research on housing, planning processes, and the politics of the built environment. His work engages with concepts such as the right to the city and the right to urban nature, emphasizing equitable access to housing, public space, and green environments. Eriksen frequently participates in public debates on housing policy and urban transformation in Norway, arguing for more democratic, socially just, and environmentally grounded approaches to city-making and the governance of urban space.
