Are modern cities killing our souls? Dr Heba Raouf Ezzat argues we are at risk of suffocating ourselves behind concrete jungles. Urban planning must, she argues, reflect our civilisational markers and not capitalist standards. Dr Heba teaches in the Departments of Political Science and Sociology at Ibn Haldun University and was formerly a professor at Cairo University and at the LSE.
