Urban resilience strategies for the reconstruction of Ramadi (Al-Bakr neighborhood, One June neighborhood, an example)

Abstract

Reconstruction strategies in post-conflict cities rely on the concept of urban resilience, which goes beyond recovery to include anticipating, adapting to, and minimizing the impact of crises. This resilience strengthens social cohesion and urban stability, necessitating the updating of laws and regulations to keep pace with rapid changes. The study examined reconstruction alternatives in the city of Ramadi using the Delphi method. It concluded that the best option for Al-Bakr neighborhood was "resettlement," which scored 590 points, while for the June 1st neighborhood, the most suitable alternative was "establishing promenades and recreational areas," receiving a score of 500.
