Statement
As Kashmir is facing an increasing frequency and intensity of disasters that are natural as well as man-made, the impact on the economy and the construction & development sector is massive, it is obvious that the infrastructure built several years ago cannot fulfill its purpose. However, erasing the past and culture cannot be the solution. The new building regulations and lack of material availability have caused a reduction in climate and culture-responsive construction. There needs to be an interdisciplinary approach cutting across social, political, and environmental disciplines, all strengthened by the wisdom of the community.
