During the panel discussion, speakers mapped out the humanitarian and urban landscape post-blast and explored questions such as: Can community-led accountability and recovery help build back better? How does the local community create a community led relief effort as a continuation of their revolution and protest movement? How do we ensure that reconstruction efforts are inclusive, and don’t lead to further fragmentation?
