About the Book

Focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, this book discusses the complexities of rebuilding cities amid wars and conflicts, highlighting the importance of harnessing global knowledge. It explores innovative approaches to urban planning, emphasizing the transformative power of "creative destruction" in shaping intelligent, diverse cities. Through the lens of mission-oriented innovation policies, it advocates for sectoral collaboration to tackle grand challenges, such as Sustainable Development Goals and climate change. It delves into the systemic nature of mission-oriented policies, drawing on science and innovation to address urban challenges and transform socio-technological regimes. The book's three parts unfold a comprehensive exploration, encompassing historical reflections, current challenges, and future possibilities in city reconstruction. It provides a nuanced understanding of past endeavors, examines contemporary issues, and offers forward-thinking perspectives, creating a rich tapestry for urban planners, policymakers, and scholars.
