Physical Development

The rehabilitation and the reuse of available open spaces in the dense and complex urban fabric aims at upgrading these neglected spaces, providing a healthy environment and contributing to the socio-economic wellbeing of the Old City residents. Taking into consideration the characteristic urban pattern of the Old City of Aleppo, upgrading open spaces through attractive modern urban design and landscaping has proven as a vital tool for the generation of a strong ‘Old City-awareness’ amongst the residents. Up to date, the Rehabilitation Project of the Old City has upgraded various open spaces/places, such as Sahet Al-Hatab, Sahet Al-Almaji, and Sahet Al-Awamid.
