About the Book

This book presents works that book offer a novel interpretation of how today's urban problems can be tackled through the efficient use of resources and the modeling of solutions to best utilize the available features of cities. The second edition of this book compiles several research papers that present a detailed discussion of the formation and identification of cities and illustrate different case studies that deal with historical areas and buildings as part of preserving cities' vocabularies and self-identities. By unfolding a stimulating variety of topics in relation to the conservation of culture and identity, the book provides insights into planners and decision-makers, aiding them in their contributions to the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development goals with reference to heritage preservation.

He was the former director of Faculty of Architecture—Design & Built Environment, Beirut Arab University, Tripoli Campus, Lebanon. He has worked for distinguished universities in Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. His research focuses on the relationship between architecture and urbanism; he is interested in social behavior activities, their mutual effect on both spatial and economic variables in urban spaces, and their interrelationship with architectural design. Mohareb uses theoretical and experimental methods in his research including but not limited to Space Syntax, GIS, and recently introducing drones and artificial intelligent (AI) in the field of object monitoring and detection of patterns of behavior at different scale levels (micro/macro scales). He has several published papers in refereedjournals and international refereed conferences. He has participated in number of international funding research related to understanding social behavior activities. He serves as an editorial board member of a number of renowned journals. Alessio Cardaci is a professor and a researcher of “Drawing and Architectural Survey” of the School of Engineering at the University of Bergamo, where he is also the head of the SABE Laboratory (Survey & Analysis of Buildings and Environment). His research interests are related to the themes of 3D survey for the conservation of cultural heritage, architectural and urban restoration, implementation and development of new technologies for the survey, documentation and conservation of architectural and monumental heritage (3D laser scanning, 3D image-based modeling, 3D data processing, reverse engineering), digital drawing, and representation of historical and contemporary buildings. Dr. Nicola Cavalagli currently holds an AssistantProfessor position at the University of Perugia in Italy.
