Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides indispensable and interdisciplinary insights into the revitalization and redevelopment of urban centers in war-stricken conflict regions, such as Aleppo in northern Syria. This contribution explores innovative, cutting-edge toolkits for academicians, digital building technologists, engineers, architects, archeologists, (urban) planners, land policy advisors and legal scholars. The compendium not only analyzes strategies and shortcomings of implementation guidelines drawn by donor organizations, development agencies and political actors, but also explores possibilities for initiating functioning and sustainably resilient networks that can establish capacity-building platforms for recovery and reconstruction. Although the work focuses on a city in Syria, it holds lessons, toolkits and instruments for other areas in the region and beyond.
