Abstract
The article discusses Iraq's historical cities facing challenges of reconstruction amidst large-scale destructions, emphasising the complexity of contemporary urban redevelopment, exacerbated by climate change. It proposes a replicable planning approach employing adaptable modelling strategies tailored to each city's needs, allowing for independent implementation by local administrations. The progressive strategy, adaptable to specific characteristics, uses tools like linear attractors and matrices. These tools facilitate the design of repeatable solutions and rule-based urban transformations, ensuring a balance between public-private spaces and green areas. The approach aims to create resilient, climate-responsive urban environments, tested in four northern Iraqi cities, to foster positive transformations and mitigate climate impacts. Ultimately, the proposed scenario seeks to cultivate urban environments that thrive amidst evolving climate conditions while ensuring community well-being.
