ABSTRACT

In a world of profound interconnectedness and shared experiences, the spaces we inhabit hold a complex interplay of memories, emotions, and histories that shape our individual and collective identities. From urban centres to rural landscapes, each place carries its own stories, often interwoven with both joy and pain, euphoria and tragedy. It is therefore essential to recognise that these places are not simply backdrops or local development plans; they are the very containers of human experience, laden with the imprints of trauma, healing and resilience.
