Rehana Tawfeek is a prominent figure in the field of architecture and construction policy in Sri Lanka. As a co-founder of the research institution Arutha, she has been vocal about the adverse effects of monopolistic practices and improper policies on housing construction costs in the country. Recently, she highlighted during the ResetNow dialogue in Colombo that existing policies, including tariffs and monopolies in the supply of essential materials such as cement and tiles, have significantly raised construction costs, making it unaffordable for many citizens. Tawfeek advocates for policy changes to enhance competition and improve access to affordable housing.
