“Our mission is not to return to the inequitable, dangerous and unsustainable patterns of the past, but to help shape a better future by reshaping our public spaces to meet needs and elevate the standard of life.”
Join CCG engineer, Firas Sweidan, this evening (Monday 15th June) at 8:30pm (GMT+3) on zoom for a free lecture presented in Arabic and hosted by Tashkeel, where he will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic may influence the future of our urban public spaces and livable environment.
Much of the world as we know it has changed in just a few weeks, from how we travel to how we get our basic necessities. Evaluating our urban environments is important, including the implications of social distancing for the mental and physical health of communities, so that we can attempt to improve reality and return Back to a Better Normal.
Firas is an Architect and a Senior Urban Planner, who has experience working with various multinational and multi-disciplinary firms in consultancy and contracting on a wide variety of project types and scales, and an advocate for excelling human societies through Urban Planning as a process of solving problems in a creative manner.
