I am looking for a university or a research institution in the field of urbanism and city planning that is interested in hosting and funding a series of seminars that are related to the impacts of political change and politics on the built environment as well as the physical transformation of cities.
Some topics could be:
Transformation of cities post the Arab spring revolutions
Urbicide and postwar reconstruction
Border settlements and regions
New Capitals
Forced displacement
Impact of the waves of migration on cities
Planning for control.
Any suggestions?
I am willing to help if you provide more information. This includes
1. Time of the year?
2. Number of attendees wishing to attract?
3. Conference committee?
4. Registration management?
Thanks

I can facilitate for you an introductory lecture in Qatar if you are willing to discuss the impact of Al Sisi regime on the current architecture and urbanity of Cairo and Egypt. Upon this, hosting and funding might be secured in light of the credibility and authenticity of the discussing the impacts of political change and politics on the built environment as well as the physical transformation of cities.
