Sustainable reconstruction and planning strategies for Afghan cities: conservation in cultural and environmental heritage

Sustainable reconstruction and planning strategies for Afghan cities

The reconstruction process of Afghan cities demands a sustainable reconstruction course of development so that once again they can resurrect their once vital and attractive human-environmental capacities. In this paper, effort has been made to present strategies and explore processes whose intent is to point to a rediscovery of the art and science of designing a sustainable course of development.

It seeks to synthesize the principles of sustainability into an agenda for the design of towns and cities. These strategies serve as indicators of sustainable development; they should be used to define inherent qualities, carrying capacities, and required ecological footprints of a place. Furthermore, they are established to allow designers to model, measure, and program sustainable standards as well as monitor the regenerative process of cities.
