World Heritage Site: Ancient City of Aleppo

Publication Year: 2020

Summary

Reconstruction of war-damaged historic cities, such as Aleppo, must prioritize the preservation of cultural heritage to restore collective memory and identity, preventing psychological trauma. The study highlights that without a value-based approach integrating theoretical and practical frameworks, post-conflict reconstruction risks further damage to urban integrity and historical identity. It proposes an integrated framework merging traditional rebuilding methods with insights from case studies, emphasizing the need for balanced assessment to avoid irreversible loss of Syria's cultural heritage.
