Abstract

Istanbul, a city celebrated for its deep historical roots and cultural diversity, reflects the confluence of numerous civilizations. This essay examines the preservation methodologies designed for the Suleymaniye District, a significant World Heritage Site on Istanbul's historic peninsula. Istanbul's geographical location has positioned it as a crossroads of various eras, from ancient hunter-gatherer societies to the present. This has endowed the city with a complex tapestry of cultural layers, both above and below ground. To ensure the preservation of this heritage for future generations, conservation-focused strategies are integral to the city's planning. The Historic Peninsula, Sarayburnu, the Suleymaniye Ottoman Residential Fabric, and the Zeyrek Traditional Neighborhood Fabric with its Black Walls are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Yet, beyond recognition, these areas require robust conservation efforts to fulfill both national and international commitments.
