Abstract
In recent years, many cities worldwide had been exposed to armed conflicts. Cities became subject to total or partial destruction, physically, economically, and socially. As a result of war, there was the loss of human lives, the destruction of homes, services, infrastructure, and sometimes the community’s displacement.
Because of the destruction of these cities, following the end of hostilities, attempts were made to reconstruct those cities and help the displaced population return to their hometowns. The baffling issue is that there was no unified strategy for the post-conflict reconstruction process; each city has its own experience in the reconstruction process. The research highlights the post-conflict reconstruction process in its various aspects.
This research focuses on the previous Egyptian experience in post-conflict reconstruction, where this study aggregated a set of lessons learned from Egypt’s experience after the October War. The purpose is to highlight the key aspects of the reconstruction projects that can be used and considered in similar situations in the Middle East.
The argument for re-constructing post-conflict cities shows that by the end of 2010, the Middle East had suffered from armed conflicts; cities were destroyed, and communities were torn apart. This research reviewed and analysed different case studies of post-conflict reconstruction processes conducted by post-conflict cities. The conclusion of similar cases in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Lebanon, Germany, and Netherlands highlights the post-conflict reconstruction strategy that can help the cities re-build themselves, recover war-torn communities, and welcome the return of displaced citizens. The findings also highlighted the importance of reconstructing those cities that became nations’ dreams. The concluded remarks provide an adequate strategy for post-conflict cities to be rebuilt. For carrying out this research, theoretical background for post-conflict reconstruction was made to derive a plan for re-building post-conflict cities.
