Conservation of Historic Areas
A. The Concept of Historical Regions
Is Areas with features historical excellence are structurally and architecturally either had its origin in old ages
as medieval Coptic or Islamic, or those which have arisen during the century IX and the beginning of the century
XX.
So The areas of valuable historical and takes them to be as whole what where the buildings and fields, gardens
and streets, are set not indivisible, which supports Balance between their parts on the nature and consistency
of their components, and the type of use and activities rooms by part essential of urban heritage side to side
with the heritage architect, therefore , the qualities of Commerce and crafts and industries are part important of
considerations ultra-Sea , which needs to be maintained and strengthened in the areas of heritage in accordance
with instruments international in the field of conservation of the heritage , and the city a For compelling many
of regions , such as the korba District of Egypt , the Center of the country "European Cairo", Fatimid’s Cairo .
B. Historical areas:
I've Developed regions the historical result of the construction and demolition and construction that has the
human Nations of various cultures and religions on throughout history , and which are considered witness alive
to that life style, social, economic, and political, so that elements Architecture list value high crosses on this
style of life which was prevalent, a The areas historic that still retain historical value , style, architectural
featured, are areas that were exposed to destruction and devastation , whether resulting from disasters natural
Of war, or of the human at the time being, the demolition of the building buildings , and the Prius , which has
brought us even started paying attention , and maintain Target high with a lot of Nations, institutions and
specialists.

The Causes of the Deterioration of Historic Areas
Hit Neglect , demolition , many of the area’s history and content of the parameters of artifact in countries of
the third world, which is one of the richest regions of the world the effects especially in centers cities ancient
and of focused on civilization and history, that the concept of buildings historical includes not work the architect
per but includes site urban or rural , which Discovers the proof of civilization , or the evolution of important or
an historic, and this not only on the work of art is great but also Business old the most modest and gained
importance cultural with the passage of time, due to the deterioration of buildings Historical to the causes of
many important:
1- Agents of social change in the combination of social and development concept of the family of the family
extended to Family Nuclear.
2- Factors : the nature of environmental design architect, a role which game the yard already and his absence now
, which lost houses of ancient splendor and its environment , in many of the residents therein to its roof, in
addition to contaminants environment Other impacts of negative.
3- Factors economic: the increasing importance of trade and the increasing price of land which leads to the
demolition of buildings of historical and Centre commercial place.
4- Abandonment, the abandonment of any building lead to deny the building of hygiene daily And makes him
vulnerable to the growth of plants, fungi, and insects as well as accumulation of dust which causes the
deteriorate, particularly If a period is long, the result is bad and maybe lead to ruin and demolition of the
building, and the abandonment causes many of the fragmentation of ownership, and the large family and other.
5- Degradation product of devices the Government and examples of that: conflicts between devices Supervisor of
buildings of historical, such as body effects and other that some devices State leased buildings to perform
functions not consistent with their original.
Non The existence of Centre’s sufficient to care and maintenance and registration of buildings of historical,
archaeological, there is inadequate In legislation that takes effect without attention to the area surrounding the
impact.
Substance abuse Use ,the lack of use of the building by way of appropriate lead to deterioration of the condition
Historic area planning
Was Planning an appropriate mindset of those people who lived
in that period a For the old time, and were satisfied with the
conditions and manner of their lives, because their drawings
were appropriate with their beauty and satisfaction to a simple
and small can Live in it, no matter what view what If was
healthy or not so.With Evolution of human and had No need of
the study and planning In line with the progress of civilization
and technology, so you should be planning A time long and all
the circumstances, as well as the need to be informed of all Areas
in which future expansions, and taking into account the
conditions of the environment in the design of the order
planning areas historic must conduct studies of historic length
for each of the Cases of buildings and people, and that is
planning and maintenance , and return life to them In the
organization chart of the City are located in this region, we must deal with it on The basis is a neighborhood
reacts to people of different.

When Layout of the areas historic should take considerations the following account:
1- Cessation of worn out area historical on road repair and maintenance of buildings, rooms, where.
2- Organizing urban area, in order to determine the uses of land, and the uses they serve, and select density
population and determine the elevations and the character of the buildings, and the terms of the appropriate
construction of to keep the value of the region, and the enactment of laws to protect and prevent the abuse of
buildings in this Region.
3- Move movement passage mechanism to outside areas of historical and make it in the narrowest border.
4- Increase awareness of civilization to the inhabitants of these areas the importance of keeping the environment
unique
There is two methods for maintaining the heritage of civilization for architecture, method calls to not dump the
region surrounding the building Historical, and method calls to dump this region.
Building Monumental represents the historical certain of the history of the city, and not be separated this
Building archaeological periods subsequent to, so you should put building monumental in its basis from where
its relationship to the buildings and spaces around him, even appear worth of plastic and its association with
the scale which The crisis since its inception.
And here we must make a precise planning and design of the area surrounding the building, and the construction
of buildings new around it as required by the age of the methods technology in building construction without
any Connection was cut, and this does not require a dump area building archaeological. Either method of
maintaining the heritage of civilization, invites owners of this direction to dump the area surrounding the
historic building to display separately as the impact of the effects of the past without a link large configuration
planning and architectural surrounding.
Is divided into Thought the architect in this method to two-way:
Calls Direction first to find the type of contrast between the architecture of the old Mani in its varieties, and
its natural architecture contemporary to their formation, and their wearers. Either Second , it calls to find a kind
of harmony between the architecture of the old, and the Architecture contemporary which takes its
commitment to the values of civilization, and apply the latest methods , even Keep pace with the Development
continued
In Life, and in this case become architecture contemporary surrounding the building of the historic and
extension Architecture of old.

The objectives of preserving historic areas
Can To say that target Basic operations of conservation is to provide an environment more conducive to human
life, Not that the scope of the concept of conservation and its link to development overall, the priorities and the
objectives maintenance varies according to the nature of each region and are linked with the circumstances ,
with respect to the ranges historical which are inherently historical , archaeological , the objective in place first
He maintained the character of the cultural protection relics , and requires access to this target deal On several
levels , most notably :
- Focus the effects and around buildings with character excellence.
- Search Study of elements of architecture and construction and the search method of repair and replacement.
- Search A method to deal with the region as commensurate with the value of civilization where.
- Raising the overall level and provide opportunities and services to area residents.
- Try to confirm and revitalize their historic city limits by Gates, fences and domes.
- Pedestrian traffic network linking almbuti Different archaeological.
- You must be clear goals at the regional level as well as on the Local level clearly.
Ways to deal with historic areas
Is Areas of historical in any City of wealth large represent value civilization on the level of civilization of
mankind, and the maintenance and protection This wealth of steps and important to keep the value civilization
call to protect buildings of archaeological and historical problems, restoration and renewal cannot be separated
from the call to Improve the environment, which is located by the buildings where the upgrading extends to the
social, economic, population and activities.
The Ways of dealing with buildings located in areas of historic vary due to put the building to deal with it
where you can split the to the following:
1- Removal and re- construction: it is in the case that building is bad, and there is a bug not be reformed, or fix
this bug with the cost is high, and thus become The process of reform is feasible, it is allowed to restore
construction on same lines construction and take into account aspects of functional and aesthetic.
2- Reform : this is in case the building in case structural medium where you can fix it at half the cost building bad,
here is the design and coordination of sites surrounding these buildings, As well as arenas and fields of
public.
3- Restoration and renewal: the aim of this method is to return Buildings to character token and the historical and
archaeological, and so the restoration construction, as well as the work of finishing the internal and external
interfaces, and include also work maintenance permanent to keep the building in its original.
4- Protection: to protect the building of historical or archaeological means protecting the image Visual public
facilities, as well as protection of the environment, social and economic surroundings by.
5- Keep: they keep the building fabric and architecture properties of historical icon of historic and valuable artifact
you must keeping them in their original, includes preserving the structure of the social and economic the
structure of urban.
6- To use: is this policy to hire buildings historical in uses a new suit, and the impact and ensure the continuity of
reading and portfolio it scientifically.
7- Re rehabilitation: interested in buildings of historical and architectural, that of during upgrade the region’s
economic and social.

8- Maintenance: dealing with change in the areas of urban, Social, economic, and technology to ensure the
sustainability and adaptability of the region with change fast and continuous, and aimed at the continuity of the
sense of value, and certainly the character of the place and the community.
9- Substitution: the policy of "replacement" is the image adjusted for removal, and is a method for dealing with
places of underdeveloped and declining Areas history that does not please the benefit of the fix, you must
remove to create projects that help to develop those areas in its place. Only the process of substitution is trying
to alleviate the damage caused by process removals overall to structure social and economic population.
10- Renewal: are resorting to acts of "renewal" in the area of historical , for repair and renovation of housing ,
utilities, roads, services, and targeted action Come renewal of buildings and areas with valuable historical look
configurable again in line with the style and taste of year time conducting the operation , and may include The
work of renewal Open streets , and include work designing and coordinating sites public squares, fields,
gardens, and<include implicitly the work of specific policies for the removal, repair, and maintenance.
11- Development: a set of actions relating to the development of buildings and areas Of the value of heritage for
the increase in growth requirements functional for users is that recourse to the authorities the local usually to
improve buildings within the scope of the areas historic as you extend the protected and maintained as part of
the history of the region and prevent its transformation to the Islands - in within the entity City.
12- Envelope to: featuring policy promotion places or spreads the historical as policy keep on the mass of urban
heritage and cultural -based policy renewal completely but are posted on it you will develop side Social /
economic population as a way to make the development of urban which explore words as policy development
overall socially / economically / localities.
Fields of Conservation
Preservation areas Historical which are, by their nature, historical and archaeological requires comprehensive
in approach, and it can be divided into the areas of maintenance of the Areas:
1- Upgrade the structure of basic: includes methods and networks for Exchange of health, water, electricity and
telephones also include coordination of the corridors Pedestrian lighting and hygiene system and collection of
solid waste and disposal thereof.
2- Upgrading service social: comprehensive role of worship, schools and kindergartens, health services libraries
public clubs, in addition to the Services of management such as the offices of post, Telegraph and telephone,
and security such as centers Police and firefighters to the branches of departments, local.
3- Upgrading a cluster built: include buildings residential, administrative and business types and different levels,
all of which are the proportion of mass construction, which include buildings archaeological.
4- Upgrade community: includes the upgrading of areas of social, economic and cultural rights is essential for
maintaining the band heritage.
And keep in the sense of requiring coordination and integration in dealing with such areas administratively,
benchmarks and space command, which is in the heart of the management development.

Historical policies preserve areas
A. Dealing with buildings list within the range heritage:
When Select the method to deal with the buildings existing in the band heritage must be of the Evaluate each
of them on the basis of a programme of upgrading doing or to select Position of program maintenance with
respect to the question of assessing the building issue, Only It can be a General dealing with existing buildings
within range heritage after classified to Two main:
B. Dealing with building regular within the range heritage:
Which could be subject to a three levels of Basic:
Level I: the buildings of the poor:
In In not classified building on it badly , but If there 's a bug Construction cannot be repaired or needs to cost
high become with process repair is not feasible, as classified building on it badly If were from materials non-
coherent, or do not fall on articles at such as Tin and cardboard and straw … etc.
And in the Ranges of heritage, When you Remove a lousy must examine the image aesthetic of the region
Historical and light this is resolution deal with leave the site as Open or Construction compliance with
construction, but he prefers that you constructive On same border property lines and construction list as not
opposing it with aspects of art And aesthetic.
Level II: buildings of the medium situation:
In In General, building an average case is the building which does not have the bug In structure construction
which can be restored with costs less than half of the value and cost building If removed and was built, and is
assessing the buildings existing in the case of medium To identify the requirements for renewal and reform
both of which the individual is from the this work data detailed for all work and estimate the cost and decision
making on reform and renewal Or removal or replacement.
Level III: the buildings of the good situation:
You must that contains a project upgrading the Plan of maintenance and repair of buildings, good to not be
used and had Turn to the premises of the poor.
And in the Case ranges heritage: should that be the year for the appearance of Building commensurate with
the nature of the band's heritage, it borders the building heritage or archaeological building good but colors and
printer are incompatible with the building heritage and spoil his image Visual in this case should be to include
draft upgrading Plan for the globalization architecture stemming from the heritage of the local on the facades
of buildings new menu in Heritage range with discuss the possibility of bringing this character to the designs
of buildings emerging in the range.

C. Dealing with monuments and historic in scope heritage:
Differs from the Method of dealing with the buildings heritage ( archaeological and historical) about what is
followed with another that may be dealing with methods of substitution or buzzing Machine, and not fit to deal
with established heritage but method of restoration or protection, and in not correct to consider the origin of
archaeological or historical isolation on buildings located around it , what enters with established heritage in
visible image must be included also work as worthy and we used the building's heritage, as well as course For
the main access to the building heritage.
And of the Major problems of the buildings heritage as part of the services, and the care maintenance,
restoration and protection of the consumer of resources , and in projects that upgrade is preferred when dealing
with buildings heritage transferred to the investment in the projects of return economic Or after the meetings,
he exploits the building heritage by nature and potential in that a restaurant or hotel or the status of a cultural
or Hall lectures or library General...Etc, But in all cases, you must be a control on this exploitation so as to not
result in exploitation of the building of the archaeological or historical damage done.
And when you dealing with the buildings are historical points of the following key controls necessary to
follow:
- Not Allows work any modification in building archaeology itself.
- Not allows to convert any mosque to use another.
- Not Allowed to enter the building, archaeological or what about any activity or use inconsistent with the
doctrine Islamic.
- Not Allows setting any elements representing the seriousness of the origin, and this risk either due to
vibrations or the seriousness of the fire or the escalation of gases and vapors are harmful or a Noise such as
generator of emergency and the kettle and store fuel in case the necessity of the existence of these elements
can be Placed outside the building historic in a special account where all precautions safety.
Pros Operations Conservation of Historic Areas
I: Pros of urban: - Keep the continuity of mass construction, blanks, and buildings, and areas with valuable historical where lead
the same role assigned to them, or the role of the new required play.
- Protection Nature optical featured this e regions, as well as to protect the values of the moral to all of the

What is meant by Old Cairo?
Old Cairo or Medieval Cairo has historical precursors at somewhat different
geographical locations, in part explained by the changed channel of the Nile which
formerly flowed much closer to Old Cairo. Pharaonic Memphis and On (Heliopolis)
were located some distance to the south and north-east of present-day Cairo. A more
immediate and geographically closer precursor was pre-Arab and pre-Muslim Cairo,
called Misr-al-Fustat or Al-Khalifa, now known as Coptic Cairo. This settlement was
also occupied and fortified by the Romans. To the north-east of what are now the ruins
of Fustat, the Fatimids established the walled palace city of Al Qahira in about 1000
AD. By 1500 AD, Al Qahira or Fatimid Cairo had spread southwards and westwards
to cover the area now generally regarded as Old Cairo. Two related urban features should be noted.
To the east and south, extensive medieval cemeteries, now known collectively as the Cities of the Dead, were
developed to provide burial sites for Fustat and Al Qahira. Secondly, the port outlier of Bulaq was developed
on the eastern bank of the Nile and this district is still distinctive today as morphologically ressembling Old
Cairo despite lying just north of the present-day Central Business District of modern Cairo.
Historic Cairo
Cairo Wooded areas of historical and archaeological mission that reflects the richness of the city, not only as
the capital of the world, but also as of masterpieces of human experiences built on throughout its history, it was
included within the historic city of Cairo to the list of heritage World in the year 1979, under (Islamic Cairo)
in recognition of the important historical, archaeological and architectural absolute.
And building on the recommendation of the Board of international monuments and sites (ICOMOS), based on

European Cairo
Downtown district:
The treasure of Central Cairo contains nearly 300 buildings where
some banks, including the railway station buildings, Egypt and its
buildings and premises occupied by insurance companies and
hospitals "Crescent and railway and evacuation" and included some
small hotels almthalkelh treasure and paralleled the Paris Latin
Quarter hotels that are the kiss there, tourists in Cairo is a haven for
insects and rodents and moisture, and distinctive buildings,
embassies, mosques and schools such as Lycée Bab Louk and Rivoli
cinemas and Diana and theaters. And all this, and unfortunately the
treasure drop out of our hands and tuck the hustle and random NGA
and did not pay attention and did not understand its value and we
turn it into workshops and clinics, mainly to deliver a minimum of
maintenance.
Historical background:
The Stock Exchange is a neoclassical building, with ionic
colonnades, designed in 1928 by the French architect Georges Parcq.
The building replaced the El-Kattawi Bey Palace four years after his
death. The Cairo–Alexandria Bourse was closed in July 1961
following the state-sanctioned demise of Egypt’s private sector. The
project to rehabilitate the district was initiated in 1999 by the
Secretary of State for Governmental Affairs, with the aim to save the
Stock Exchange, since its basement had been flooded with rising
groundwater. The project started by reopening the Stock Exchange
after 36 years of closure. The building needed both renovation as a result of the under- ground water and
technological networks equipment to facilitate financial and trans- actional trading operations. Whereas the
government had initially supported a project of the New Cairo Financial Centre and the Office Park (Muqattam
Towers) which would transfer the financial centre (bank headquarters and the Stock Exchange) to Cairo’s
southern suburbs (Muqattam hills) in front of Salah El-Din’s Citadel, a group of investors strongly rejected this
idea and offered to restore the old building. They started renovating the building, but then realised the urgent
need to upgrade the surrounding area as well, since the district is regarded as the financial and commercial
centre of the city attracting foreign businessmen and brokers. The rehabilitation process was implemented by

private sector funding supplied by consulting firms and entrepreneurs. It involved various schemes: renewal of
the infrastructure, the pedestrianisation of streets, the installation of nineteenth-century style lampposts, and the
provision of street furniture, greenery and palm trees. Decayed buildings were subjected to thorough restoration
and renovations, with facades being painted off-white to ensure harmony. Almost 36 years later, in a new era
of economic restructuring, the Cairo Stock Exchange reopened for investors in its familiar old location.

We find Many of the buildings of archaeological may offend some use either of the above individuals The
housing or of the bodies and agencies of Government to exploit them as services especially by like projects
Services such as schools and health units or stores generally have , in addition to the residents and tenants of
buildings archaeology who abuses them without A control to it which leads to rapid deterioration of the
situation, the Architecture of the building without the slightest regard for keeping it and maintain it and address
the problems that might appear .
2. Stacking Traffic within districts :
Where The streets in the area are not commensurate with the transfer in times talk, both transporting passengers
or goods not having systems alternative to transport goods keeps on these areas historically has led to a
multitude of areas choking traffic as the lack of areas allocated to waiting cars in and around the area have
Impact negatively on the region because of the vibrations, which are caused by car pollution resulting from her
exhausts.
3. Deficiencies In the processes of restoration and conservation of the buildings archaeological within
areas of historical :
Where is there a clearly defined method of dealing with the buildings and area historical society And the method
of conservation and restoration of monuments are the method complies with the requirements of the bodies,

Global experiences to maintain historic areas
The French experience in dealing with historic areas:
One of the highlights to be mentioned here is the
(Haussmann) In the 19th century of
comprehensive remodeling of Paris, and his
work can be diagnosed as a traditional romantic
directions in dealing with heritage and urban
structure of ancient cities, where he opened wide
and straight streets surrounded on both sides by
a number of buildings with themes and specific
altitudes without taking account of the nature and
the needs of social and functional aspects,
including those from the interior spaces.
It should be noted here that the historical centres
which is the kernel of a large number of
prestigious French cities which are often what
takes place in those cities are affected by the
nature of urban growth and urban in General
which can summarized in French cities with two
main directions:
1. Peripheral direction wrapped around old city centres that expanded a ring circuits takes place and linked by
radial routes emanating from the Center.
2. Growth on the industrial zones in cities, which are often what are located near major traffic arteries and of
different types.
Initially the biology is divided into several sectors,where population occupied (and poor) segments on the
periphery of the city, while respect for the Wii Centre On Each Commercial buildings, cultural and
administrative task, and was home for the rich, and of areas with very high prices for real estate, and over time
and with the buildings the Centre lost splendor dispensable, population movement started in reverse, where the
rich are moving to outlying areas and surrounding PA cities while the left central areas (particularly residential)
to be a haven for the poor and working classes specifically In line with its weaker material.
Then "Le Corbusier" strict release, perfect in his city which He named (city of joy), strict regulations and
distribution of life activities and social events with the sharpness that led the city lacked a sense of realism.

The maintenance and development of the French regions and historic buildings:
France enjoyed a range of laws protecting historic areas and buildings, as well
as the architectural heritage by people themselves, for the competent
authorities to find balanced solutions consistent with heritage values in
conservation and development, in addition to observance of requirements of
modern populations. After There was a significant migration of historical areas
and the central areas of cities to its rickety buildings and lack of basic
conditions of adequate housing, turning the population into urban housing
Authorities tried to find plans for the renewal of old districts (for the poor) and
protect the cities from their miserable but not Often Process, Given ً Enormous
costs, and limited financial returns, so did succeed in this endeavor and was
suspended.
The intervention of the owners of capital in these areas, removed a large
number of buildings and high towers were built and modern place, where those
towers to do any links to the old dismantled historic urban fabric of the region,
the most important objective is to return the material to the argument
(corrected chaos afflicting the old areas).
In the 1960s featured a tourist demand trends the importance of neighborhoods of historic areas, but these were
the directions to place oblivious to life and society in which he lives, the priority here for the State of the
buildings and their appearance, and without any regard for social and demographic backgrounds. Here is
another problem, as the tourist objectives cannot be the basis for the renovation, maintenance and perpetuation
of cities, especially ً Important cities including, without regard to their social structure, because this would be
to turn them into museums instead As cities for living and housing. At the end of the 1970s was a new law is
concerned with the restoration, maintenance and improvement of historic areas through well thought out plans
to revive those areas while maintaining its architectural and urban, social, and historical features and population
composition.

In the period (1850-1947CE) Study and analysis of all the buildings of historical and architectural value that
already require attention and then document the activities previously Lead-in those buildings, as well as
Proposing appropriate urban activity after renovation and sustainability, or in some cases very few The
Committee recommends that competent to demolish the building to undermine or submitted or not to adapt to
the situation, and it’s The situation is rare.
In General, the competent authorities have dealt with the heritage buildings and historic areas of French
according to the following three formats:
1. Renovation attempts : The first ideas for the renewal of some popular Parisian
neighborhood, and the basic idea from logo to reorganize these neighborhoods and
fight the foot and use of land, the urban fabric with low density, because most of
the low-rise buildings and a large number of warehouses and workshops operated
large land surfaces. Andthe renovation of the massive advertising campaign aimed
at attracting investors and convince them of the viability of this process.
2. Attempts to keep : chose "rupees" in Northern France, is an industrial city, 200
meters from the municipality and the area of 12000 M as a perfect model of the
urban fabric and in this city located business and craft on the streets outside and
have high housing units inside there are large gardens and private courtyards and
factory for spinning has stopped working, rather than torn down revival of this
project area includes:
· Front part Where Fill the ground floor When Commercial and artisanal activities, first turned to the second
floor offices and allocated for housing where took 40 housing units with an internal courtyard and corridor
linear movement, has heightening directly from the final roof vents and the final surface have been employed
with some sports and recreational activities.
· In the middle section were allocated upper floors to provide 30 single housing unit
(Studio) and ً G ً For the bottom Desk plate and public activities and provide a
direct connection between this part and the rest of the district by a covered rear
passage.
· The adjacent site is formatted and converted to a public garden represents a link
with the cultural center is located on the opposite side, and with the restoration of
some nearby buildings.
3. Improvements : You chose an apartment building in the 1st District of central
Paris: consists of five floors and is located in the pedestrian zone, the objective of
the project is to maintain the same function for the building with the energy
exploitation of spaces of the building according to the following steps:
· Structural study of the condition of the building and its ability to accept excess loads arising from the idea of
adding a mezzanine for the final housing unit.
· The inner courtyard has been exploited in a vertical connection elements starting from the first round.
· Been preserved the original architectural character interfaces with improvements and repair, maintenance and
cleaning process was limited to keeping one of the old buildings that have the features and characteristics of
the traditional Parisian architectural heritage.

The General bases of the French experience, the reasons for their success:
1. The culture of conservation that protect historic areas and buildings and by the
citizens of urban heritage, although most districts keep belong to the poor and
middle classes.
2. The financial resources planned and implemented governmental and non-
governmental and adopt the flexibility in planning and implementation.
3. Provide expertise and experience in the formulation and development of
standards, leading to:
· Select the heritage areas of historical and architectural value that already require
attention and documentation activities.
· The capacity of technical authorities assume their responsibilities and fulfil the
schemes.
· Development of the foundations must be adopted in developing the design.
4. Pressure on venture capitalists for not implementing their investment with high
profit on the territory and maintain.
5. Participation of multiple disciplines that have been able to make a successful
standards because the subject is not the physical aspects of urban planning, but
also social, cultural and political.

The continuation of urban life for a long time in Yugoslavia (over 2,000
years in the 7th) has left a legacy the ensuing Diverse for this feature,

The General bases of the Yugoslav experience, and the reasons for their success:
To restore the bitter. Akz . historicE Yugoslav cities , can be summarized in three main phases:
1. The protection of historic sites within the regions and regional schemes.
2. Protection of the historical Centre’s of towns and other areas of environmental concern in the framework of the
basic designs.
3. Protection, restoration and revival of historic sites within the outlines, urban and architectural designs.
The protection and revival of cultural and historical heritage in the first and second phases one paragraph
integrated within the complex environment of urban planning, so this summary only shows the methods for the
protection and restoration of cultural heritage And historic. phase III (detailed plans and projects of historical
sites) the HA have covered the whole area. So, this stage make up the core of the methodological procedures,
starting with the initial studies and ending with the implementation.
Recommendations:
Make a regional map archaeological Egypt all governorates and cities where it is not without Egyptian city
sometimes even Egyptian villages - areas or historic buildings or archaeological are important and must be
defined by not limited to tourist activity on the famous places in major cities , but extends to every place in
Egypt has clear from the study that we are lacking in Egypt inclusiveness in dealing with historic districts in
the country as a whole , and we ignore the historical areas and secondary cities , areas of historical and
archaeological sites in major cities , especially Cairo and Alexandria and some neighborhoods Finally shorter
attention of researchers and research bodies The government , which led to the neglect of the rest of the study
areas, historical and archaeological other cities that have played an important role in the history of Egypt,
ancient and modern , which is imperative to him the importance of studying these areas to preserve the
architectural and urban heritage and activating the role of municipalities in the preparation of it. And have
several returns are important mainly relieve crowding tourist seasons specific to famous places by opening
areas of cultural tourism to other places and publicity work required her definition of the local and international
level , as well as the preservation of these areas interest them and restoration of what he needs from the effects
of it.
