This paper examines several aspects of the attempt at rehabilitating Aleppo and the data available about the city prior to the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011. It discusses documentation, rehabilitation and conservation practices in Aleppo, focusing on the operations between 1994 and 2011 that were coordinated by several institutions managed primarily by the Directorate of the Old City of Aleppo (DOCA) and the Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammen­arbeit (GTZ). The analysis considers not only the old city, which is inscribed on the World Heritage List, but also other historic and culturally significant areas in Aleppo. This research primarily uses notes from other scholarly resources, statements by various relevant experts, and the reports and documents produced by the DOCA, the GTZ, and UNESCO to argue that some of the practices during that period were in part responsible for overlooking important aspects and places of the city’s built heritage. The paper then explains the ramification of these approaches, which are still perceptible today, on the prospects for any future efforts to safeguard the city’s built heritage.

尝试在 1994 年至 2011 年间记录和修复阿勒颇：冲突前建筑遗产管理不善的后果以及文献稀缺对冲突后保护可用选项的影响

本文研究了在 2011 年叙利亚冲突开始之前重建阿勒颇的尝试的几个方面以及有关该城市的可用数据。它讨论了阿勒颇的文献、重建和保护实践，重点是 1994 年至 2011 年期间的行动由主要由阿勒颇老城管理局 (DOCA) 和 Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) 管理的几个机构协调。该分析不仅考虑了列入世界遗产名录的古城，还考虑了阿勒颇其他具有重要历史和文化意义的地区。本研究主要使用其他学术资源的注释、各相关专家的陈述，以及 DOCA、GTZ、和联合国教科文组织争辩说，那个时期的一些做法在一定程度上导致了忽视城市建筑遗产的重要方面和地方。然后，本文解释了这些方法的后果，这些方法今天仍然可以感知，以及未来保护城市建筑遗产的任何努力的前景。
