Establishing Significance of Old Central Hub-Faisalabad Built Heritage through Documentation for Regeneration Strategy

Abstract

The goal of the study is to document the declared built heritage of Old Central Hub of Faisalabad being an industrial city of Pakistan, with a unique history and significant heritage structures.These structures and buildings are still standing in their grandeur while lacking the essence of aesthetically beautiful architecture appreciation due to neglect and ownership. The archival data was collected and further strengthened with the textural data to formulate the inventory while using architecture documentation as a main instrument for recording information. The establishment of statement of significance would emphasize the future restoration methodologies. This first step would lead to the formulation of the regeneration strategy with the series of prioritization of restoration actions. The present era of climate change and DE carbonization demands the conservation of resources which can be best achieved through regeneration strategy for the built structures like in old central hub of Faisalabad.
