The art of planning and preserving ancient cities: the town of Nedroma as a case study

Abstract EN

The protection of our urban heritage and the preservation of its distinctive architectural pattern has become a priority.

this could be done by studying the structural composition of the general planning of the antique city, knowing its outputs in different respects, and putting barriers to the modern urbanization sprawl.

bearing in mind that nations value their present status by relying on the past and having projections in the future, it is necessary to study the most important remains of antique cities and tying historical links between them in a hierarchical and integrated span of time.

it is also necessary to search for the most effective and successful ways to protect what remains of their tissues by involving all the stakeholders.

thus, though the city of Nedroma has noticed many historical and scientific studies, it still remains one of those cities which deserves this kind of consideration and whose most important landmarks preservation is still a matter of debate.
