The Universal Value of the Urban Heritage in the Historic Town of Zabid between conservation and current risks
In 1993, Zabid in Yemen was inscribed by the World Heritage Committee as a World Heritage Site. Its urban heritage is related to the environmental features and the culture of the society. However, it lacks the capabilities necessary for proper conservation and management.
In 2000, UNESCO inscribed Zabid on the list of “World Heritage in Danger” to underline the poor urban planning policies that had led to the destruction of the city’s traditional houses on the behest of the Yemeni government due to poor upkeep and conservation.
This study describes the urban heritage in the Historic Town of Zabid and discusses the major challenges and risks in the town. In other hand this study also explores the preservation requirements to protecting the urban heritage in the city.
