This study looks at how alterations in urban planning and architecture affect community togetherness, cultural identity, and social dynamics in Benghazi, Libya. It employs a blended methodology, finding that traditional neighborhoods reinforce community bonds, whereas modern impacts change social interactions. The analysis emphasizes the importance of safeguarding cultural heritage in urban growth and advises a balance between tradition and modernization. It adds to post-conflict urban development comprehension in the Middle East and North Africa, providing understandings for urban planners and policymakers searching for sustainable, culturally-wealthy, and socially cohesive urban environments.
