Welcome to Mukalma with Moeed, a podcast where curiosity meets conversation. Hosted by Moeed, an architecture graduate from the prestigious National College of Arts (NCA), this podcast is a platform for meaningful discussions on art, culture, education, architecture, creativity, and the stories that shape our world. 

Each week, Moeed engages with a range of guests, from educators, creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, designers, and thought leaders, sharing real stories, deep insights, and fresh perspectives.

Whether you're a student, a thinker, or a creator, Mukalma is your space for value-driven conversations that inform, inspire, and challenge you to think deeper.

In this episode of Mukalma with Moeed, we are honoured to be joined by Arif Hasan, one of Pakistan’s most influential architects, planners, and thinkers on urban development.

With decades of work on housing, informal settlements, and participatory planning, Arif Hasan has played a pivotal role in shaping discourse around cities in Pakistan. His association with initiatives like the Orangi Pilot Project and his extensive research on urbanisation highlight the importance of people-centered development and grassroots solutions.

In this conversation, we explore the realities of Pakistan’s urban challenges, the dynamics of informal settlements, the role of policy and governance, and the urgent need for sustainable and inclusive planning. Arif Hasan also reflects on his life journey, experiences, and the lessons he has gathered over the years.

A deeply insightful dialogue on cities, society, and the future of urban Pakistan, essential for architects, planners, and anyone interested in understanding how our cities truly function.
