jan 1, 1980 - Mayor Farsi launched the Conservation policy
Description:
The 1980s conservation policy launched by Mayor Farsi has largely succeeded in protecting the city’s traditional architecture and has been able to greatly reduce the pace of demolition of the remaining traditional houses, but, unfortunately, hasn’t been able to completely solve the problem.
