901 Sahra AschenbachUSHaving visited Damascus recently I fell in love with the ancient city...what a shame it would be to destroy it to build a highway and hughrises...I would no longer want to visit.Registered Nurse
902 Michael GreggCATake it from someone who lives in a metropolis ruled by motorways, Damascus does not need eight lanes of trafic running between Bab al-Salaam and Bab Touma. Hold on to what you've got. I would certainly be a human tragedy if a Damascus ended up just like Tehran, Tokyo, or West L.A.Archaeologist

909 Kathryn GustafsonFRDamascus and the entire country of Syria have the world’s most remarkable architecture that spans the history of culture. To put an 8 lane road through the city is madness not only physically but also politically. Syria has the potential to be an example for many issues from Global warming to Islam urban society. There are so many public transportation options, light rail, tram ways that would be suitable for Damascus. Syria should lead in defining cities future.Landscape Architect

922 Charles SiegelUSDon't make the same mistake that American cities made. Decades ago, many American cities sliced freeways through their hearts, thinking this would promote development. Instead, it blighted the areas near the freeways. American cities such as San Francisco, Milwaukee and others are now removing freeways in order to revitalize the neighborhoods that those freeways blighted.Writer

924 Mayssan Shora FarraUSI walked these old streets sketching as a student in the School of fine arts/Architecture. It would be a pity to modrnize any more. It is far better to populate the empty spaces all around Damascus insteadClay artist
925 Maine McEachernCADestruction of Old Damascus' priceless historical, cultural, and architectural heritage in the name of "modernization" and "development" would be ultimate proof of the lamentably primitive streak of audacious avarice and idiotic short-sightedness in humanity, little different from the Taliban's obliteration of the Buddhas of Bamyan... Let wisdom, spirituality, morality, and beauty prevail; protect the cultural-historical treasures of Old Damascus!Environmental Consultant
