| Abstract |
This article discusses the concept of "conservation-based development" for historic cities and examines the
role of international assistance in the conservation of the Old City of Sana'a in Yemen, which was included in
the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1986. Conservation-based development aims not only to improve and
protect the existing living environment, but also to create and maintain a better quality of living
environment to enhance the positive aspects of life. The concept of preserving the entire urban environment
which surrounds historic areas is one method of controlling development, as opposed to the idea of leaving old
things in their original state. International economic, technological, and sociocultural cooperation is needed to enhance the value of traditional culture and create a new culture founded on conservation-based development. Towards this end, the importance of establishing cultural exchanges between the developed and developing countries should be emphasized. --Journal abstract | ||
