Destruction of the Architectural Heritage as a Result of War: The Experience of Reconstruction (Conservation and Logistical Aspects)

Wars significantly threaten architectural heritage, as demonstrated by recent conflicts. This study highlights the vulnerability of historical structures during warfare, using examples from Chernigov to illustrate the extent of destruction. It then draws parallels with Warsaw's Old Town reconstruction, which introduced restitution as a new restoration approach and achieved notable conservation success. The research emphasizes the application of urban logistics principles in planning the revival of historic cities, offering actionable strategies for post-war reconstruction efforts, particularly relevant for Ukraine's national heritage recovery.
