Abstract

With the political, economic and social developments and transformations of the 19th century, and with urban transformations in cities and technological advances that clearly affected living conditions, Old valuable buildings and historic environments may be subjected to many physical neglect due to the deterioration of their architectural and urban status, as well as being neglected physically and morally because they don't adapt to these transformations and the requirements of contemporary life, In order to achieve this, it is possible to reuse, because the original function of valuable buildings of value disappear gradually over time. However, this may be inconsistent with the new urban surroundings.






The research presents a new vision linking the appropriate reuse of valuable buildings with upgrading their urban surroundings and raising awareness of the value of these buildings to extend their impact to the economic and civic fields, which may help to create a reliable economic base to keep these buildings having suitable and effective functions in their Urban surroundings
