Abstract

Cities are dynamic organisms. There is no 'historic' city in the world that has retained its 'original' character destined to change with society itself. Therefore, it is necessary to make various efforts to preserve historical cities' identity in sustainable ways. The city of Rosetta is considered one of the most important historical cities, which is classified as the second-largest Egyptian city containing Islamic monuments after historic Cairo. Rosetta is best known for the Rosetta stone, which was discovered in the Qayitbay castle in 1799 and suffered from many problems related to heritage conservation and management. The research problem has focused on setting a new hypothesis regarding Rosetta as a cultural landscape and applying the criteria of universal importance to it. The reasons that influence in shaping the city's distinctive character will be discussed, which qualifies it to run for registration on the World Heritage List as a cultural landscape. This hypothesis may increase Rashid's national importance and thus increase opportunities for development and investment, which may raise the standard of the living city. The research methodology was based on two main axes:
1. Analytical approach: It includes a study on the effects of the natural and historical components of Rashid on making this city a cultural landscape area.






2. Practical analytical approach: It includes applying international standards for Rashid to be registered on the World Heritage List. The results are summarized in finding definitive evidence that Rashid is a cultural landscape area; also, some recommendations were added.
