Listen to the recorded live discussion on the aftermath of the Beirut Explosion. For a video version, click here (Will redirect to YouTube). During the panel discussion, speakers mapped out the humanitarian and urban landscape post-blast and explored questions such as: Can community-led accountability and recovery help build back better? How does the local community create a community led relief effort as a continuation of their revolution and protest movement? How do we ensure that reconstruction efforts are inclusive, and don’t lead to further fragmentation? --------------------------------------------------------------------Speakers:Mona Fawaz is Professor of Urban Studies and Planning and Coordinator of the Masters in Urban Planning, Policy and Design at the American University of Beirut (AUB).
