PhD Workshop on Territorial Fragilities 2021.21 – Territorial Fragilities in Cyprus

Planning and Preservation

Strategies

Nicosia, Cyprus, is one of the divided cities in the world. This open wound in the geo-political body of EU cuts through the whole island of Cyprus as well as through Nicosia, including its historical center surrounded by well-preserved Venetian walls. Since 1974, the so-called “green line” separates materially and symbolically the Turkish-Cypriot from the Greek-Cypriot community despite recurring attempts to find out a route for reconciliation.
The workshop addresses the multiple fragilities due to the continuing existence of the borderline, mainly in Nicosia’s metropolitan area, intending to explore scenarios and spatial patterns of intervention to cope with the urban partition, facilitate by-communal projects, and encourage reunification.
