Transport, Traffic, and Mobility Issues and Challenges in Post-War Homs, Syria
This seminar lecture examines challenges of transport, mobility, and traffic in and around Homs, a central Syrian city in the post-war and reconstruction era. At the intra-city scale, the presentation focuses on Homs’ historic core; the Old City in addition to the Homs University Campus, exploring issues of accessibility, congestion, and the coexistence of pedestrians, public transport, and private vehicles. At the inter-city scale, the lecture reflects on the Homs–Hama corridor, with particular attention to the damage to a strategic bridge shelled during the war and its wider implications for regional connectivity and flow. The presentation concludes with an interactive discussion aimed at engaging participants to identify potential solutions, policy directions, and context-sensitive interventions to improve mobility and resilience in post-war contexts.
