Amir H. Gohar
Planner, Egypt

Mass tourism expansion is becoming a threat to all the environmental resources in the Egyptian southern Red Sea region, including cultural assets and biodiversity. There are relatively few numbers of defenders of biodiversity, but not much attention is given to other cultural resources that are not less important, and on the other hand, these cultural attributes construct multi layers of decades that tell the story of this area starting from the gold mines during the Pharaohs through the Romans' mining and trade, followed by the Islamic shrines on the pilgrimage route to the recent British occupation. Land use planner Amir H. Gohar will speak about introducing a scientific approach that complements the existing environmental preservation sciences and provides sustainable planning to generate the same revenue (or more) while sufficiently maintaining and preserving existing cultural assets.

This lecture is part of the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning fall colloquium (LD ARCH 253) series.
