LUMS Live Session 80: Dispossession for Development? Land Struggles in Contemporary Pakistan
All across major cities of Pakistan, entire communities are being dispossessed of their use of land by projects that have severe ecological, environmental and social consequences. This panel invited activists, researchers and legal experts to discuss the manifestations of dispossession induced by development projects in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, sharing their on-ground knowledge of events, resistance, challenges, and ideas for more equitable forms of urban development.
Hosted in collaboration with the Mahbub ul Haq Research Centre (MHRC), the Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives (IDEAS) and FemSoc at LUMS as part of the I A Rahman Social Justice and Change Webinar Series, the session was moderated by Ms. Hala Bashir Malik.
