Description

This landmark study examines the conservation of historic Sanaa, Yemen's UNESCO-protected old city, a major cultural heritage initiative that began in the 1980s and continues under local leadership today. Unlike other Middle Eastern cities that abandoned traditional construction practices decades ago, Sanaa presents a unique paradox where modernization and heritage conservation have advanced concurrently. The book explores how this dual process has shaped the city's architectural identity and cultural significance, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities of preserving traditional building practices in a rapidly changing world. Published by Routledge and recognised with an Honourable Mention for the Society of Architectural Historians Spiro Kostof Book Award in 2018, this work provides essential reading for architects, heritage professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how cities balance development with cultural preservation.
