  text: Reconstruction and recovery of historic cities after destruction due to conflict
    or natural disasters have gained increasing relevance in the last decades. The
    investigation of international examples of recovery after war or natural catastrophic
    events can provide knowledge for improving guidance and strategies for sustainable
    reconstruction/ intervention in similar cases in the future. This paper aims to
    identify and analyze the legal, administrative, social, and economic factors that
    can favor the reconstruction and recovery processes of the historic city and its
    residential neighborhoods. An extensive review of international examples and literature
    on guidance has been conducted to provide insight into best practices and potential
    solutions. As a result, a set of lessons learned that can be used to address post-conflict
    and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in similar situations is given.
