post-war development
Rebuilding after conflict
Post-war development refers to the reconstruction and economic growth that follows armed conflict.
The term encompasses rebuilding infrastructure, restoring institutions, and reviving economies devastated by war: Post-war development in Europe was fueled by the Marshall Plan.
It often implies planned modernization—new housing, industry, and urban expansion that reshape landscapes: The neighborhood's post-war development replaced bombed-out blocks with high-rises.
