The conference explored the initiatives undertaken by various INTBAU chapters to advance traditional building, architecture, and urbanism. From organising educational summer schools and publishing scholarly works, to aiding in post-disaster response efforts that integrate reconstruction and planning of the built environment while respecting the unique local character of regions affected by both natural and human-made disasters, such as Ukraine, Türkiye, and Italy.
