Abstract: This paper examines adaptive reuse as a strategy for integrating traditional urban areas into modern cities, emphasizing the preservation of cultural heritage amidst urbanization challenges in developing countries, with a particular focus on Cambridge, UK. It explores the complexities of redeveloping historic spaces, focusing on financial and technical aspects of conservation. Collaborative workshops play a key role in developing practical methods for redeveloping and reusing traditional spaces. The study offers multidisciplinary solutions for balancing urban growth with historical preservation, featuring case studies, expert insights, and contributions from participants in the ongoing dialogue on sustainable urban transformation.
