Q&A: Islamic Urban Futures, Populism, and Belonging – Dr. Heba Raouf-Ezzat & Dr. Uthman Badar

This Q&A explores how Islamic norms can inform contemporary urban life and policy. Questions addressed scale, neighborliness, and everyday moral texture in city design; critiquing dominant ideologies shaping modern skylines; and proposing ‘designing for disorder’ to enable civic gathering, manoeuvre, and shared spaces. Dr. Heba discusses measures of success and happiness, adaptive housing models, survival skills for youth, and the psychological drivers of populism and nationalisms. Questions also probe nationalism as quasi-religion, healing post-uprising trauma, and balancing Islamic belonging with local identities. Dr Badar adds how Ummatics translates research into recommendations for policymakers, industry, and on-the-ground projects. #ummatics #UmmaticsConference2025 ___________ If you found this video insightful, consider subscribing to the Ummatics Institute channel and activating notifications so you never miss our latest updates.
