"After extreme floods put a third of Pakistan under water in 2022, architect
Yasmeen Lari vowed to build one million flood-resilient homes. For our
Designing for Disaster series, her foundation reveals it is a third of the way
towards that target.
The latest update from the Heritage Foundation of Pakistan, founded by Lari, is
that the rebuild programme has so far provided 333,000 homes for those
displaced by the 2022 floods.
These floods were among the worst in Pakistan's history, causing 33 million
people to lose their homes and resulting in $30 billion (£24 billion) worth of
damage.
The target for the programme, which launched in September 2022, is to reach one
million replacement homes by 2024.
Designed by Lari, these homes are intended to be flood-resilient to safeguard
against future issues."
