ANALYSIS OF ARCHITECTURAL AND TOWN-PLANNING FEATURES OF SAMARKAND THAT HAVE A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Abstract

Today we talk a lot about the revival and preservation of historical heritage, but looking at how unceremoniously treated some architectural monuments in Samarkand and with the established historical urban landscape, words are far from the case. Indeed, the rapid growth of the population in Samarkand, the development of transport, housing and other types of construction, and changes in the state of the environment threaten the preservation of cultural heritage as never before, lead to the destruction of many objects of historical and artistic value, contribute to the distortion of the urban landscape, and the disappearance of the "spirit of history" from streets and squares.
