re-use of rubble as new concrete aggregates is clearly an important strategy for reconstruct.
Have a look at the AMU project which utilizes waste concrete and glass resources
The Alternative Masonry Unit (AMU) project provides low cost, high performance, and environmentally sustainable building materials for construction. The initial stages of the project involves enhancements to the existing status of the AMU block material and product development, certified laboratory compression-testing of the block, and construction of a local building project (Domestic Beta). Based on documentation of the Domestic Beta, an instruction and training manual will be developed and post-construction analysis will be performed to allow for further refinements of the system in future.
