Episode Synopsis "10. New-Cities"

In this episode of Urban Resilience Dialogues we are talking about New-Cities. Our conversation so far has been focusing on the different aspects of urban resilience in existing urban settlements. But this time, we decided to consider new cities and their role in addressing contemporary urban challenges. It seems that, as we speak, about 150 entirely new cities are under construction worldwide in more than 40 countries, and particularly in the Global South. To explore this all with us, we’re joined by Heba Elhanafy. Heba is an urban researcher at the Charter Cities Institute, currently based in CCI regional offices in Lusaka, Zambia. Her research interests lie in the intersection of the history and the future of urban settlements. She has a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urban Planning from Alexandria University and a master’s degree in Urban Development from the Technical University of Berlin.
