Felicity Cain, former deputy country director and head of programmes at Turquoise Mountain Afghanistan, will explore how traditional architecture and cultural heritage can serve as powerful tools for crisis response and recovery. Drawing on over a decade of experience in urban planning, cultural heritage conservation, and sustainable development, she will discuss Turquoise Mountain’s work in Afghanistan, where the restoration of historic buildings and traditional crafts has preserved cultural identity while creating jobs and fostering community resilience. This lecture will highlight case studies from Kabul’s historic Murad Khani district, showcasing how heritage-led regeneration supports sustainable urban recovery in conflict-affected regions.
