Summary

Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exhibits diverse architectural features shaped by its strategic role as a crossroads between East and West. The city's residential areas reflect this historical synthesis, blending multiple architectural styles that evolved over millennia due to its significance in trade, politics, religion, and culture. This study highlights how Aleppo's urban fabric encapsulates layers of civilization, serving as both a cultural meeting point and a key hub for trade exchanges between the eastern and western worlds.
