Urban transformations of historic areas: A case study of Nezir-Aga mosque complex, the Old Town of Mostar

Urban transformations in historic areas can successfully balance preservation and modernization, enhancing living conditions while maintaining cultural identity. A case study of the Nezir-Aga mosque complex in Mostar's Old Town demonstrates that systematic analysis of past changes—rooted in physical heritage and its underlying processes—provides a methodological framework for inclusive urban design. This approach resolves tensions between tradition and contemporary life, offering practical guidelines to inform future interventions in historic urban landscapes.
