Cities’ Identity Through Architecture and Arts (CITAA) – 6th Edition

Arts and architecture are among the factors that shape the history of civilizations and allow ancient and modern cities to flourish. These factors do not stop only at buildings and constructions but also include traditions, cultural beliefs, and communal arts. By cherishing our traditions and civilizations that left behind various architectural miracles, we will pave the way for future generations to develop and preserve their identity.

With this in mind, various organizations have taken actions to preserve cities' identities by maintaining their architectural heritage. IEREK, a long-time advocate of architectural development, has organized the 6th international conference on "Cities' Identity Through Architecture and Arts."

The conference will discuss various topics like the techniques used to preserve cities' architecture and arts and the effect of modernity on historical cities. Moreover, the impact of contemporary arts and architecture on the identity of cities will be studied.

This conference welcomes research papers that includes different case studies that present many solutions of activating the concept of the responsibility of architecture and arts on the development of our cities. It is an important initiative, which presents a new approach that depends on the available features of cities and how planners and decision-makers use these resources of the cities' features like the thread tip in solving the urban problems that our cities are facing.

All accepted papers of the fourth Cities’ Identity Through Architecture and Arts (CITAA) after the peer-review process will be either published as chapters in the Book Series “Advances in Science, Technology and Innovation” (ASTI) by Springer, And other papers online by IEREK Press.
