dc.description.abstractThe term conservation is inappropriately interpreted or used, a least in the development of urban areas. It is looked at times, as mere romantic attachment to history; an effort drag the present to fifty or more years back. In short, as an impediment to progressive development towards urban megalopolises of the 21 St century. Development planning in historic cities is concerned with the future settlement and regions and involves selecting from arrange possibilities these that will most benefit the greatest number of people and contribute to their, welfare and improvement of the environment. Conservation must be considered as a point of development. Unless it helps to generate of more income, conservation consumes immense resources that might other wise be used to upgrade the quality of life. Urban conservation s firstly not about dead and deserted historic settlements to be excavated and consolidated. Rather it is about living settlement, about life and its sustenance. Conservation should look after the physical, social, economic and psychological needs of people or not for people would survive.
