2. Involvement and Education
Engaging local communities in the
restoration process fosters a sense
of ownership and ensures that the
project meets the specific needs of
the people it serves.
3. Recycled and Upcycled Materials
By incorporating reclaimed
materials from demolished
structures or other sources,
construction teams can reduce
the demand for new raw
materials.
5. Local and Renewable Building
Local materials reduce
transportation-related emissions,
and the use of renewable resources
ensures that the rehabilitation
process is not depleting finite
resources.
6. Innovative Seismic Retrofitting
Rather than opting for traditional
methods that may involve
resource-intensive approaches,
utilizing advanced retrofitting
techniques can enhance a
structure's earthquake resilience.
