technicians who have the knowledgeand experience in the restorationof heritage buildings. The Centeralso seeks to build a dialogueatmosphere and environmentbased on the concept of socialdevelopment through attracting

intellectuals who have a highimpact on their local communitiesto be active and inuential in thepreservation of urban heritage. TheUrban Heritage Center seeks tocreate a culture that can be calledthe culture of urban heritagewhich will be the starting point thatcreates community awareness ofheritage value, because our primarygoal is to make the citizen the rstguard of the urban heritage in ourcountry.The Center, in general, is concerned

with preserving and studying thebuilt heritage, and presenting itto the local regional and worldcommunities in a distinguishedscientic manner that demonstratesthe potential of such heritage andhow it could be used and invested.
