CATTLE EGRET SOCIAL HOUSING
Cattle Egret is a bird. It eats the parasites living in the skin of the Hippopotamus.
In doing this, it cleans the Hippo and in the same time it feeds itself: each one benefits from the other.
This image of symbiosis between two different species is a metaphor for a possible scenario of Social Housing: local authorities have not funds available for social housing, this is why there should be a synergy with private entrepreneurs. In this way the economic wealth will be also a social asset for the community.
