This book peers into the concept of conservation under the framework of sustainability. The world's architectural history is in danger due to a lack of understanding, expertise, and care. Some monuments have already been lost, and more are under threat. Heritage needs to be well understood, interpreted, defined, and managed for future generations, as it provides communities and cultures with retrospection, and contributes to recorded history. Additionally, it discusses the relationship between cultural heritage preservation and sustainable development, as well as restoration efforts for tangible and intangible cultural heritage assets. The book aims to assist professionals working in the field of heritage conservation, whether it is cultural, rural, architectural, tangible, or intangible. It stands to be a valuable resource for architects and engineers, as well as for conservators, archaeologists, environmentalists, and policy-makers.
