description Urban heritage sites are valuable assets that promote sustainable development and innovation in cities. Yet, various detrimental effects on the environment, including pandemics, crowding, climatic changes, lack of awareness, and failed waste management, caused by certain human activities and the introduction of non-viable projects do not only impact sustainability per se, but also harm the significance and fabric of heritage assets. In order to cope with these challenges, more potent approaches to heritage conservation should be investigated. This paper provides a thorough analysis of approaches, integrating traditional models of sustainability with urban heritage charters. The proposal of a framework for regenerative policies in heritage sites, based on the above-mentioned analysis, is presented subsequently. Benefits of applying the model are discussed afterwards, with reflectionson similar case studies and findings. The ultimate goal is directed towards resilience and sustaining the human dimension within urban heritage sites, as well as the city scope.
