Central texture in old cities was once the most important and best residential neighborhood. Today, because of the presence of human communities there are a lot of historic and valuable elements with different dimensions (physica, economic, etc.). Thus, today fixing them is a serious issue.

One of them is urban regeneration, this policy emphasize on the participatory approach that improve distressed texture to achieve goals of sustainable development.
