Résumé en anglais
Understanding and preserving spirit of place in ahistorical urban context is a difficult and complicated subject, given that such a spirit is formed from both tangible and intangible features.
The intention of this paper is to define the concept of the spirit of place, and then to identify methods for its preservation in historical urban contexts. The paper begins by discussing the key themes andissues related to the concept of spirit of place in the fields of urban
morphology and conservation; the second part then introduces, themethods used in urban morphology and conservation for
understanding and preserving the spirit of place. Finally, the thirdpart proposes a new approach, an integrated methodology, for the
identification and preservation of the spirit of the place as aconclusion.
