Spatial Planning for Recovery - Priorities for planning in Gaza:
Spatial planning for Gaza’s recovery must address several key aspects to ensure a sustainable future:
Public Action for Overall Planning: Comprehensive planning must focus on infrastructure, including health, education, and sanitation facilities. It is essential to design transportation networks, public spaces, and waste management systems while securing areas for public infrastructure before private development takes over.
Private, Local Action for Reconstruction: Residents should have the freedom to rebuild individual structures, improving resilience through measures like rooftop solar panels or agrivoltaics. While larger industrial areas require centralized energy systems, small businesses and homes can utilize decentralized energy solutions.
