Born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, Hafsa Noor Muhammad holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Hunter College of CUNY. Currently in the graduating year of her master of architecture professional degree program at Cornell AAP, she reassesses her education with the vantage point of her personal and professional exposure to cities and their sociopolitical contexts. Her work draws upon urban networks and temporalities as they relate to informality in globalized cities of the developing world. Deeply invested in the politics of urban representation and regeneration, her research centers on urban cartographies of inequality on the global scale.
