Noura P. Bishay is raising awareness about social impact and social equity design not only through architectural skills, but also through the heart she shows in wanting to serve unprivileged communities. She adds empathy to urban design, putting the community needs as her priority. The type of urban design she does seeks to make people feel safer, freer, happier and promote healthy, inclusive living styles. That’s why the community nominated Noura for the 2019 Inclusive and Diverse Leadership in Action Award.
