In the aftermath of a dictatorship, cities can undergo significant transformations as they strive to rebuild and move forward. One such city that has experienced this is Damascus, the capital of Syria.

However, with the fall of the dictator, the city is now at a crossroads, facing the immense task of rebuilding its infrastructure, economy, and society.
