Mansour, Elazab and Sheta address urban memory as an identifiable yet multidimensional component of historical urban landscapes. Their central proposition is that memory cannot be protected by cataloguing monuments alone because it emerges through relations between human experience and place. The review synthesises previous frameworks into two principal dimensions: the human, comprising psychological and social experience, and the place, comprising activities and physical characteristics. It then proposes a two-stage procedure combining desk-based analysis with in-field data collection and community engagement. This structure turns a diffuse cultural concept into an operational framework for regeneration. Temporal continuity, attachment, reminders, spatial organisation and social use become interdependent evidential layers. The paper bridges heritage conservation, environmental psychology and urban design by treating memory as a planning variable that is neither purely intangible nor reducible to fabric. Its wider significance lies in making regeneration accountable to what inhabitants remember, recognise and reproduce, thereby shifting heritage from object-centred preservation toward relational continuity.
