Résumé en anglais
Urban conservation has been a subject of academic and professional discourse for over threedecades. In Fez medina, urban conservation is linked to urban redevelopment and thereby represents a
significant component of urban design with respect to sustainability. The best practice and the constraintsand difficulties of the Fez medina sustainable conservation are addressed in this paper, based on
observation and a system dynamic approach to describe and analyze the urban heritage safeguardingprocess, its stages and components during the last thirty-five years. The overall rehabilitation strategy for
this historical area is to alleviate the constraints through a sustainable conservation program, especiallythe historic housing stock, the social development, the historic monuments and the urban environment
including the architecture heritage, which could not be launched without seeking adequate tools(institutional, financial and technical) for its implementation. ADER-Fez, the Agency for the Dedensification
and Rehabilitation of Fez Medina, places stakeholder participation at the core of itsimplementation strategy, including social animation and social participation in housing rehabilitation, and
sets a program of emergency intervention on historic monuments and buildings, housing units threateningcollapse and on infrastructure and urban facilities, with two concerns: the safety of the human lives and
the safeguarding of cultural heritage and traditional constructions of architectural quality adapted to therequirements of modern life.
