Role of Re-use in the Revitalization Process of Historic Quarters

Adaptive reuse which is adaptation of obsolete building to a new function on a large scale can create a new confidence through a deliberate functional diversification and/or restructuring and promote revitalization of the historic urban quarters and gives an impulse to both the building and its environment. This book which is based on a master thesis with the title of Role of Adaptive Re-use of Buildings in the Revitalization Process of the Historic Quarters: The Case of the Walled City of Famagusta evaluates the historical warehouses of the Walled City of Famagusta as the robust and suitable buildings for conversion to various alternative uses to promote the area. The proposed methodology for the implementation in the area has been developed based on the theoretical investigation on revitalization principles and projects.
