Summary
Waterfronts in the Sayilah of Old Sana'a significantly contribute to the sustainability and enhancement of architectural heritage, fostering cultural awareness while improving urban quality of life. These waterfronts serve as a bridge between historical identity and contemporary needs, offering aesthetic and environmental benefits that strengthen the visual and functional interaction between the city and its heritage. An analytical case study approach revealed their potential for integrated preservation strategies, recommending policies to protect them from degradation and reactivate their role as vital environmental components within Old Sana'a's boundaries.
