Post-War Reconstruction of Cities(Reconstruction of Baba Amr Neighbourhoodin the City of Homs, Syria)

Abstract

The research discusses the issue of reconstruction after wars. The paper presents theoretical ideas about reconstruction after wars, including but not limited to the impact of wars on the urban environment, the reconstruction strategies and trends in architecture after wars, the principles of reconstruction of the physical structure of buildings, and urban sustainability in post-war reconstruction operations. The concepts are illustrated through case studies of post-war city reconstruction experiences, such as the Baba Amr – Al Sultanyia – Gouber neighbourhood, which could constitute an introduction and a model for presenting a future vision of reconstructing destroyed areas in Syria.
