description The spread of COVID-19 has impacted the shape and use of public spaces today and will presumably influence how we approach urban planning, design, and management in the future. Particularly in the urban dense areas with limited public space. Urban historic centers are considered high-density employment hubs, as they host valuable and cultural services, according to UNESCO historic urban landscape (HUL) intends to enhance the sustainability of planning and design interventions. Therefore, the paper aims to investigate the relationships between historic urban landscape, health, and well-being post COVID-19 using geospatial measures of the urban built environment. The paper addresses two research questions: How do historic urban landscape characteristics relate to health and well-being post COVID-19?, What are the best practices for developing historic urban spaces post-pandemic in the dense urban fabric?. Historic Cairo as a case study is empirically examined using spatial analysis tools. The paper ends with design guidelines for Historic urban spaces using HUL approach, which could be applied in urban development policy design and planning.
