Abstract

Sustainable urban rehabilitation plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage while addressing the evolving demands of modern cities. This study examines the intersection of heritage conservation and sustainable urban development, emphasizing the balance between environmental, economic, and social factors. The deterioration of heritage sites threatens cultural identity and community cohesion, yet rehabilitation efforts often face challenges such as financial limitations, technical expertise gaps, and conflicts with contemporary urban needs. This research employs a comparative analysis of case studies to identify best practices and mechanisms for integrating sustainability into heritage rehabilitation. The findings underscore the importance of strategic investment, stakeholder collaboration, and adherence to international preservation standards to ensure sustainability of heritage sites. By bridging cultural preservation and urban sustainability, this study highlights the need for comprehensive planning to support more inclusive and adaptive cities.
