This episode addresses one of Iran’s most silent yet devastating crises: land subsidence.
This is no longer a rare or localized phenomenon; it now affects the daily lives of millions in cities like Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad, Varamin, Shahr-e Rey, and many rural areas across the country.
But land subsidence is not just a geological issue. Behind it lie decades of mismanagement, poor policy decisions, and a persistent disregard for the environment.
In this discussion, Nazila Golestan and Sahar Nasseri,political analysts, join Nikahang Kowsar, journalist and environmental researcher, to explore the scientific, political, social, and human dimensions of this crisis from the collapse of infrastructure and the threat to cultural heritage, to public awareness and the possibility of change.
This episode also features two musical performances by Iranian women artists Minouram and Mania Khosravi.
The Ravi–HamAva podcast series is committed to fostering national dialogue around universal values: democracy, secular governance, human rights, sexual equality, and the protection of Iran’s territorial integrity.Within this framework, we believe we can move through collective wisdom toward a free and dignified Iran for all Iranians, regardless of belief, opinion, sexuality, ethnicity, or background.
“A government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
