  text: The Old City of Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in
    the world, has been inscribed on UNESCOs 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 plans 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.
