Aleppo hosts a large population of remainees, returnees, and internally displaced people. Over the past decade, the city has experienced massive economic decline; the extensive destruction of Aleppo's infrastructure has exacerbated the situation, resulting in a significant deterioration in residents' livelihoods. The literature on post-conflict recovery notes that appropriate and well-managed rehabilitation planning and implementation can contribute to local economic recovery.
