Résumé en anglais

In all over Jordan, the advent of new transformational aspects in urban development was highly observed during the last decades of the 20th and 21st centuries due to the demographic growth and development in all of the socioeconomic aspects, what we have got now is a mass of chaos in which most of our cultural heritage have been left in a disturbed context and a deprived setting from its authenticity, the general cultural features remained are single standing buildings and devastated historical areas dissolved within the new cities and their proclaimed modernity like Amman (Capital), Irbid, and Aqaba.In our case study from Jordan we will give a highlight to the city of Irbid since we have made a theoretical study for the city and we have identified the threats, weaknesses, opportunities, and the strengths within its cultural heritage, we have made a careful analysis for tracking its urban development and the impacts thrown on the cultural heritage. Therefore we are interested in this research to produce new methodologies and adequate techniques in dealing with the endangered and disturbed urban heritage especially its cultural setting by introducing the subject of "The Common Character" which is concentrated in evolving and revitalizing the dead cultural settings.
