Rehabilitation of the habitat of modern cities in Syria
Introduction. Cities of Syria have a dual structure of building organization: a traditional carpet-built dwelling with a conservative lifestyle of the inhabitants and the “European city” that developed during the periods of colonization — each of which focuses on a separate rehabilitation method.
