Webinar | Rethinking the Cities, by Habitat Forum (INHAF)

Habitat Forum (INHAF) invites people to participate in ‘Rethinking Cities’ webinars, on July 7th and 9th, which will explore urban challenges and solutions.

SHARE THIS

The INHAF Webinar series ‘Rethinking Cities’ was conceived in July 2020, in the midst of and as a response to the COVID-19 lockdown, where there was an opportunity to reflect on our cities as they are and rethink current efforts. ‘Rethinking Cities’ feeds into an INHAF initiative known as CITIURI – Citizen’s Urban Initiative.

The idea was that a webinar would present, on a public platform, several themes, covered by a broadly defined civil society; connecting to individuals, organisations, and institutions, for their skills, expertise, experience and interest. It enables us to collectively map people and resources that could be tapped to strengthen this initiative and to build a supporting constituency through working together and sharing for wider ownership. From June 2020 to September 2021, Studio INHAF’s webinar series has covered 73 webinars, with over 450 local and international experts and over 140600 viewers.

Sen Kapadia


“… people like Sen [Kapadia] don’t really leave. They become the questions we continue to ask.”
—A Tribute by Nuru Karim

Nuru Karim reflects on his relationship with Sen Kapadia through three transformative “states of being”—as a student, as a studio colleague, and as an independent professional. To capture Sen’s essence, Karim draws on three powerful metaphors: a mountain (commanding yet silent), a banyan tree (generous and sheltering), and a river (unseen yet ever-present). Together, these images paint a portrait of a man whose quiet depth left an indelible mark on all who encountered him.
