Abstract

The historic city of Mosul, with its unique urban characteristics, is one of the few cities that is still inhabited, but the recent war has made it lose important and large parts of its traditional fabric, especially its distinctive riverfront. This research deals with the principle of Integrative Conservation as a conservation approach that is characterized by interest in both the urban and human dimensions, and it can provide adequate means to accomplish the process of preserving the historic urban fabric in a way that meets the contemporary requirements of life and preserves the historic value. The research aims to explore what are the criteria for Integrative Conservation most affecting the vitality of the historic urban fabric on the riverfront of Mosul old city. This is followed by the methodology of analysing previous studies to determine the most important Integrative Conservation criteria, and it is assumed that the accessibility and connectivity criteria are the most influential on the vitality of the city, using the Space Syntax to measure its indicators.
