| Abstract | ||||
| Sustainability of place identity is one of the main concerns in architecture nowadays. The end of the last century witnessed a rapid increase in urban population worldwide due to the increase of internal and external immigration rate. Recently, more than half of the world‘s population lives in urban settlements, putting into consideration the fact that these settlements continue to grow in order to accommodate more inhabitants. Therefore accordingly, both natural and cultural landscape resources will continue to be under pressure in and around these urban settlements. Today, Landscape design approaches and practice are interdisciplinary, and they can be used to manage the development of urban settlements. Therefore, it is important to introduce an analytical Landscape framework which respects place identity. The main concern of this framework technique is to identify the cultural features of urban place and preserve these features through the growth of new urban extensions. This helps in conserving the local image and values of urban places which considered as an important aspect in urban design and planning. | ||||
