Abstract

Historical urban pattern, as the architectural heritage of the past, shows the way of life and how civilizations have evolved. They convey much-accumulated information and details from the past to the present. In other words, their values are understood when the places that formed the cities are analyzed comprehensively. It is essential to examine the information mentioned for sustainable urban development as well as sustainable social development. While talking about the places in cities with Islamic architecture, bazaars are characterized by different architectural features; they played a significant role in the daily life of cities in the past and today.
