The urban kernel of Aleppo has faced a colossal scale of impairment since the get-go of the Syrian civil war. 65.61% of buildings inwards the Al Aqabeh neighborhood convey been damaged yesteryear the fighting. In xviii of the city's other neighborhoods over 40% of buildings convey been damaged.
While these figures are shocking it is yet difficult for those of us unfamiliar amongst the urban kernel to conceive of the scale of this destruction. That is why Berlin developer Hans Hack has created maps of London together with Berlin inwards which these cities are shown amongst like levels of impairment to that seen yesteryear Aleppo. Reprojected Destruction is an interactive map which attempts to portray the scale of devastation inwards Aleppo yesteryear overlaying this devastation on 2 of Europe's almost good known cities.
To practise the London together with Berlin maps Hans Hack used information from the United Nations Institute for Training together with Research (UNITAR). UNITAR used satellite imagery to operate out the per centum of buildings destroyed inwards Aleppo. Reprojected Destruction uses the trial of this query to acquaint maps of Berlin together with London inwards which the same per centum of buildings are shown every bit having been destroyed.
The geography of the devastation inwards Aleppo has too been partly reflected inwards the Berlin together with London maps. The buildings shown inwards these 2 maps convey to a greater extent than oft than non been randomly selected. However western neighborhoods inwards both maps are less damaged to reverberate how the New Aleppo district has suffered petty damage. Eastern neighborhoods inwards the European urban kernel maps too convey a higher per centum of damaged buildings to reverberate the fact that the eastward of Aleppo has been the almost damaged business office of the urban kernel during the civil war.
