On #UrbanRadar this month, we talk to Hannah Sender & Mariam Bazzi about the effects of seemingly endless military violence in #Lebanon on housing for displaced people.
We also consider the #Beirut Urban Lab’s wider work, including tracking ‘urbicide’ in Gaza.
Plus our usual monthly news radar…
It was a total pleasure to have @ctemenos.bsky.social on #UrbanRadar to talk about her work on #crisis #policymaking, public health and the city with me and @itsbethperry.bsky.social. From social infrastructures to the politics of expertise, listen here:
