Urban conservation and sustainable development have been researched in isolation so far despite the mutual interdependence of both. This often leads to extreme arguments of whether a historic city should be frizzed as a memory or be allowed to adapt to the modern developments. Some contemporary interventions in historic cities done by architects without a specialization in...
