Hussam S. O. Aldelphi
Most of the historical city centers are subjected to great pressures due to urbanization and urban involvements by individuals and institutions. This intervention may change the original urban structure and threaten its involvements. The problem is the lack of a perception of the impact of urban participation and its impact on the urban environment, assuming that patterns of urban participation may have an effective impact on that urban environment. Then, the research aims at focusing on good practices and supporting the active groups in improving the urban environment of the city centers. Therefore, the research is concerned with activating the ways of urban participation in improving the urban environment. The research found that there is an actual state of change in some features of the city centers as a result of many urban interventions. Control of the nature of urban participation can improve the control of changes in the urban environment in a positive way to the latest developments and requirements of modern life of the inhabitants. The research recommends the development of mechanisms and policies appropriate to the content of change in historical centers to make them viable and keep with developments.
