This book offers an insightful exploration of how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) contribute to understanding heritage change and revitalizing urban identities amid rapid urbanization. Geographic Information Systems for Urban Identity, Urban Morphology and Urban Transformation shows how GIS bridges the gap between urban development and heritage preservation, supporting informed decisions for sustainable historic city management.
