Egis’s people-centred approach to recovery places victims themselves at the center of the recovery process. From basic reconstruction to the extensive planning of settlements and utility networks, control of the process is transferred to those who feel the effects of war. This approach promotes effective “organic recovery”, which begins with the inclusion of victims in the placement and construction of housing on the designated land plot. Each family and group participates in making decisions about the reconstruction of communal facilities, housing design and other aspects of planning, jointly carrying out social activities.
The principles of sustainable urban planning are included in various aspects such as promoting the growth of cities, improving the quality of life, anticipating crisis situations, positive impact on the economy, creating a safe and healthy environment for all residents, developing the nation, balanced development, conservation of natural resources, smart use of technology , creation of public spaces, provision of access to education and health care, as well as provision of spatial equality.
These principles contribute to the sustainable development of the city and improve the quality of life of its residents. Urban planning is undergoing a transformation, expanding its possibilities for the benefit of all residents and taking into account their needs and risks. Climate change and environmental problems are becoming key challenges that require new approaches to environmental development and the transition to a “carbon economy”. Urban planning can play a key role in reducing emissions and adapting to climate change, using green practices and energy efficiency innovations.
