We need to precisely deal with the people who occupied these traditional areas. This can be achieve by understanding their culture (the way of living), supporting their needs (sustained purposes), and empowering local inhabitants to socioeconomically involve in the development process (enacted policy that encourages local groups to participate in the small business projects (concepts and models).

I think in a way cities are dynamic and will keep on changing. It would be nice to reflect on the direction of change to maintain and/or create liveable cities. I enjoy work by Jan Jacobs e.g. The death and life of great American cities (1961); The concept of 'third space' Oldenburg, R., & Brissett, D. (1982). The third place. Qualitative sociology, 5(4), 265-284; Landry, C. (2017). The Civic City in a Nomadic World; and on social infrastructure, Klinenberg,E. (2018) Palaces for the People.
I agree with you all that the city is a dynamic phenomenon that needs constant development and keeping abreast of rapid technological developments.
so that I would like to say for there is no any value for any place without guaranteeing the permanence of its inhabitants, therefore we need to link the economic and social aspects of the residents of the city especially in the historic centre.
