This comprehensive book delves into the critical role of integrated spatial planning in constructing eco-sustainable urban housing in post-conflict scenarios. It conducts a thorough investigation of two distinct spaces: the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan and Damascus city in Syria. By presenting a novel and innovative tool, the book aims to facilitate successful and sustainable reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of emergencies, catering to the diverse nature of planning approaches within such contexts. Moreover, this theoretical framework extends its reach to address the implications of climate change on the urban built environment, mitigating its sociological impact on affected communities. With a focus on researchers, academics, students, spatial planners, policy makers, think tank groups, and public entities, this book offers valuable insights into post-disaster reconstruction and the challenges associated with refugee camps.
