Writer and art critic, Rahel Aima talks to us about living in the Gulf, a region rapidly developing itself as the place to be for smart cities and high-tech living.
Rahel explores a concept she has been thinking about for some time, the Khaleeji Ideology, which meets at the intersection of technology, economy, the environment and nation building, as a way of understanding developments in the contemporary Gulf.
This episode also features comment from Professor Michael Mason, Director of the LSE Middle East Centre, who explores the rise of “progressive” urban development projects in the Gulf, and whether technology can be the solution to pressing environmental challenges of our time.
