  text: The Old City of Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in
    the world, has been inscribed on UNESCO{\textquoteright}s World Heritage List
    in 1986. In the early 1990s the Aleppo municipality initiated the project for
    the Rehabilitation of the Old City with the German Technical Cooperation Agency
    (GTZ) as a partner. As part of the process, a Development Plan was issued as a
    general framework including ten strategies for upgrading the historical urban
    fabric in line with the sustainable development. Despite implementation of these
    strategies, the physical fabric of the Old City has continued to deteriorate,
    and the demographic transition has continued to increase until the escalation
    of the Syrian Civil War in 2011. The paper analyses the development plan{\textquoteright}s
    strategies in the Old City of Aleppo, mainly those related to housing aspects.
    It evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies based on the concept of good
    urban governance that intersects with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
    aiming to overcome the administrative gaps to rebuild the Old City more sustainably
    after the Syrian Civil War.
