The Souqs of Aleppo, Syria

The souqs of Aleppo, central to the city's economic and cultural identity for millennia, have suffered significant damage due to prolonged armed conflict. This study highlights their historical role in shaping Aleppo’s architecture and socio-economic fabric, tracing their evolution from ancient trade hubs to modern marketplaces like Al-Saqatiyya. It emphasizes the urgent need for a structured rehabilitation policy that integrates local community participation to ensure sustainable recovery and revitalization of these heritage sites.
