Those spaces are identified as planned open spaces which are usually located in the city center, and it can be a gathering place for community members and tourists, a suitable place for open markets, festivals, or political events. Today, many cities aim to strengthen the valuable urban character of the historical urban spaces to achieve a sustainable urban image by integrating several elements like economic, cultural, social aspects and activities via some new strategies including urban branding strategy. City branding is a novel aspect of urban communication that improves marketing of the city image in several ways by transforming the visual image of the city into a brand image. Historic preservation can help cities keep their unique character and diversity of urban parts in downtown areas and consequently lay a foundation upon which they can form their unique urban space brands that attract talent.
