War Victims and the Right to a City

Analysis of Integrated Spatial Planning in Eco-Sustainable Urban Housing

This book analyzes the role of integrated spatial planning in constructing eco-sustainable urban housing in post-conflict scenarios and investigates two different spaces in an emergency: Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan and Damascus city in Syria. The book presents a new innovative tool that assists in building a successful and sustainable reconstruction after emergencies which corresponds to the planning approach's heterogeneous nature within emergency situations. The same innovative theoretical framework also covers the ramifications of climate change on the urban built environment and reduces its sociological impact on the stricken communities.

Intended Audience

This book is intended for researchers, academics, students, spatial planners, policy makers, think tank groups, and public entities who are interested in post-disaster reconstruction and the issues of refugee camps.
