To reflect upon, investigate, and preserve the history of Phnom Penh's extraordinary period of reconstruction, a conference on “Resilient Cities: Rethinking the Challenges of Urban Reconstruction” was held during the 39th AIMF Congress. By bringing together those who lived through this period, the conference explored how the country persevered through the challenges and trauma of reconstruction and provided a platform for the testimonies of those who led the charge for their city’s resurgence. This publication provides a synthesis, in three languages, of the main themes and highlights of the conference. It also includes transcripts of remarks shared by speakers during the event.
