Architectural sustainability with cultural heritage values

Sustainability and cultural heritage are two interconnected and interdependent issues that are essential for achieving sustainable development. Cultural heritage plays a critical role in society as it is an integral part of the social and cultural fabric. This article focuses on the relationship between sustainability and cultural heritage, specifically the integration of cultural heritage into urban and environmentally sustainable development. To achieve this, the study used Tabriz Bazaar as a case study to explore how cultural heritage can be preserved while balancing economic expansion and sustainable development. The research question is how cultural heritage can be integrated into urban and environmentally sustainable development using Tabriz Bazaar as a case study. The hypothesis is that the preservation and protection of cultural heritage values are crucial for achieving sustainable development, and an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to balance economic expansion with cultural heritage preservation. Using a case study approach, the research collected data through a literature review and interviews with experts in the fields of cultural heritage preservation, urban and environmental sustainability, and economics. The research analyzes the challenges of balancing economic development with cultural heritage preservation and proposes an interdisciplinary approach to address these challenges. To make the area more sustainable and preserve its cultural heritage values, specific measures such as promoting cycling in Tabriz Bazaar were recommended. Moreover, education and awareness-raising programs are also necessary to promote the importance of cultural heritage and its contribution to sustainable development. Overall, the research highlights the interdependence between sustainability and cultural heritage and emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural heritage to achieve sustainable development. Policymakers, urban planners, and cultural heritage conservationists can benefit from the findings of this study to develop strategies that promote sustainable development while preserving cultural heritage values.
