Urban rehabilitation at the and of the century: The choice of methods for preserving city centers with various models from abroad

Abstract

In general, this work treats problems of reconstruction and preservation of city centers. The defining of the most appropriate ways of town remodeling depends on the city pattern and the position on the cultural and historical scale. Despite the fact we have the exact parameters, this delicate task is not only a multidisciplinary one but also involves ones sensibility. Methodologically, the choice of reconstructive methods starts from level of the existing situation in site. This is the compulsory starting point in the choice of reconstructing methods. We have analyzed and compared some typical examples of European city centers. Due to the huge variety of methods, some errors are often possible. These errors, in the field of architecture, have very, serious results that can hardly be repaired. Therefore, this matter needs serious multilevel consideration and control.
