When a conflict breaks out, the damage to infrastructures is the most visible. But the rebuilding of a society happens not only by repairing shatered buildings, but also by repairing shatered communities. Hasan offers an unique perspective, both as a Syrian refugee and an urban planning graduate, on how can all members of an academia be involved in healing the damage made by global conflicts.

Hasan Mansour was born in Damascus in 1990. Studied Architecture between 2008 and 2013 at Damascus University, and recently, finished his master degree in urban planning at the University of Porto. He published a conference paper at CITTA 8th ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON PLANNING RESEARCH / AESOP TG Public Spaces & Urban Cultures focusing on the subject of urban identity and its loss. 

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
