Abstract

Heritage environments contain a set of architectural vocabulary that reflect the ties of society. Urban values can be found in buildings, urban spaces and the distinguished urban fabric, alongside other non-urban characteristics covering customs and traditions, and economic, social, and population activities. The extinction of our heritage environments has been observed as newly established areas are flourishing with the creation of several tourism projects. These projects depend on transferring legacy forms from heritage artifacts. As a result of investment requirements, such prototypes look economically successful projects and yet lack authenticity. In this sense, the paper studies the possibility of upgrading and development of environmental heritage of the entire heritage environment, and the effective role and contribution that can be achieved in social, economic and cultural dimensions. The study concludes that repairing dilapidated buildings should be coupled with actions taken to allow for future posts and long-term vision, and the potentials to play positive roles in the light of the sustainable planning of heritage environments without prejudice to their historical value and interest of the inhabitants.
