    Research Projects

    • A planning study on the multilayered urban fabric in the Western Asia

      Japan Society for the Promotion of Science  Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research 

      MATSUBARA KOSUKE

      More details

      6 2018 - 3 2023

      Grant number:18H05449

      Grant amount:\53950000 ( Direct Cost: \41500000 、 Indirect Cost:\12450000 )

      Modern urban planning is highly necessary when ancient heritage exists within the urban area, especially when it is inhabited. Multilayered spaces have been formed and inherited in Damascus, Aleppo, and other places. In addition, the traditional technology of oasis water utilization due to the arid region has been kept alive in the modern era. The issue of the neoliberal aspect of urban planning has shed light on the spatial formation not only by (official) urban planning but also by residents, as demonstrated in the case of Beirut. Gentrification and global mobility for management and preservation, which are advancing along with tourism, were also revealed. Long-term trials and errors from physical and chemical methods were made for the conservation of the remains of the Church of St. Simeon in the ancient city of Cappadocia as a case study. We propose an urban planning theory based on the changing "The essence of urban civilization".
