It will definitely be a great opportunity for planners, engineers and environmentalists to work together and help conserve the architecture and heritage of a city.

It will also help provide them with the chance to transfer the importance of heritage preservation to the individuals, communities, and different cities around the world.
Selected papers of the conference will be published in a book series under the title of Advances in Science, Technology, & Innovation (ASTI) by Springer.
