The panelists (who come from urban planning\, cultural policy\, and social entrepreneurship) will explore some key questions: What makes a city truly livable? How do cultural hubs and public spaces foster genuine community? What might future of urban environments look like? \nThe panel: \nKhulood Al Atiyat deputy GM\, MIZA Abu Dhabi\nAlamira Reem Al Hashimi GM\, Madar39\nAdina Hempel director of ZU’s Zayed Institute for Architecture\, Heritage\, and Arts \nModerator: Pradeep Sharma director of the Arts\, Culture and Heritage program at the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation \nThe panel discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and refreshments. \n
