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.

Architecture, Power, and the Poor | “As a profession, architecture lacks moral position and has become complicit in the neoliberal dispossession of the poor.”—Vivek Rawal

Vivek Rawal argues that architecture—as a profession—is structurally aligned with political and economic power rather than social justice. He critiques how architectural education and practice prioritise developers and real estate over communities, turning housing into a market commodity. Even movements like sustainability and participation, he says, often become tools for elite consumption rather than genuine empowerment. True moral reform, according to Rawal, would mean architects relinquishing control and enabling community-led design and housing decisions.
