About Amal Hashim
I am a graduate student at the University of Tours Polytech where I am completing my Master's in Planning and Sustainability. My primary interest, however, lies in cultural heritage conservation and architectural history. My research work lies at the intersection of urban planning in the modern world and the impact it has on the intangible heritage of communities.
