“What we see in Gaza is something that we have never seen before in the history of urbanism,” said Mark Jarzombek, an architectural history professor at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has studied post World War II reconstruction. “It’s not just the destruction of physical infrastructure, it’s the destruction of basic institutions of governance and of a sense of normality.”
“The cost of rebuilding will be prohibitive. Construction sites on this scale have to be empty of people, creating another wave of displacements. No matter what one does, for generations Gaza will be struggling with this,” Jarzombek added.
