REVIVAL OF PEDESTRIAN SPACES IN PALIMPSEST CITIES APPROACHES ? CASE OF STUDIES: YAZD AND FLORENCE

Reviving pedestrian
areas in Palimpsestic cities which have many identity layers are only possible
in two different methods; which are based on analytical inference of
Palimpsest. The principle of one of these methods is separating the palimpsest
layers and protecting and reviving those patterns and maintaining the highest
efficiency of them. In this method each layers are under study. Such method is
visible in reviving the pedestrian areas in Yazd. Although most of these areas
in Yazd have lost their continuity in the past few decades as a result of
recent developments, the main approach in the remaining areas is protection and
renovation. Thus these areas don’t hold practical and infrastructural roles in
the city.

In second
method which is based on ?Palimpsestuous? inference is driven out of emergence
of the new identity and key layers involved. Emerging attraction could play a
key role in developing the use of pedestrian areas. In Florence; the pedestrian
areas in the historical and modern parts of the city are in harmony with each
other. Extensive supervision on construction has prevented the destruction of
the historical areas. Such attitude in Florence contrary to Yazd has caused
these areas to have a key role in preservation of infrastructure of Florence
and life of its citizens and help the preservation of the historical part of the town.?
