The Tanmia Urban Forum: The Road to Benghazi 2033

Tanmia Urban Forum discussed various planning, architectural, and engineering aspects throughout a two-week period, in addition to legal and economic aspects and financing mechanisms, and raising the level of general community awareness on the new urban plan for the city of Benghazi and its development and construction programs. The first week consisted of training and workshops targeting approximately 60 youth in the fields of architecture, law, and economics, to provide the opportunity for the participation of young professionals specialized in relevant aspects to open horizons for a new generation of youth to be leaders in the future. The second week consisted of round-table sessions that brought together officials and decision-makers with the opportunity to form professional relationships based on sufficient understanding, knowledge, and know-how to reach recommendations and solutions on the various topics discussed during the forum week.
