[OLD PODCAST EPISODE] Shipra Narang Suri, the current Coordinator of the Urban Planning and Design Branch at UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), joins PWP for a conversation on “Post-Conflict / Post-Disaster Recovery Planning”. From discussions on smuggling public infrastructure plans out of Poland during World War II to the use of Minecraft in reconstruction efforts, her mandate for planners remains the same: the need for local champions that can think holistically when addressing these monumental challenges in community development. Don’t miss this exciting and eye-opening perspective from Shipra and the PWP hosts on the necessity of planning for a future that includes natural hazards and other types of disasters.
