dc.description.abstract The soul of the city lies in its heritage structures which give it its identity and stand out as a reminder of the past glory. As we relate the varied aspects of conservation, we must understand that cultural heritage is vital because of the values that people associate to these objects or places. These meanings, associations, and values must be counted as part of the larger sphere of sociocultural processes. This paper focuses on the conception of cultural heritage, derived from the way people remember, organize, think about, and wish to understand the past. The stories associated with objects and places by people enhance the value of cultural heritage. Every place has a soul of its own. Certain places may have extremely powerful charisma due to an interesting blend of their unique symbolic and physical attributes. This research tries to understand this through studying the Physical Attributes of some parts of two different cities. In one case the conservation effort has been done to retain the sense of place and the Second one has a lot of potential but needs some serious conservation effort. en_US
