Urbanization is a process that affects and affects individuals and communities as a place and substance. During this process, the urban residential areas, commercial spaces, open and closed public spaces have changed, and this change has directly influenced the forms of production and consumption, lifestyle and cultural practices of communities. Especially in major cities, the places where the greatest changes have been observed from the early years of urbanization to the present day include areas named in different forms, such as "historic city center", "Ancient city center", "historic urban area" or "historic urban area". The centers, which can take their dates to the establishment of cities, have many historical and cultural heritage elements; therefore, they enter the status of "city site". Historic city centers also serve as a public area with commercial, social and cultural imagery for the city, in addition to hosting natural and cultural heritage elements. But rapid, excessive and unplanned population movements have caused an accumulation in the city centers, with the construction of new business spaces, production and consumption spaces, these centers have lost their inhabitants and their attractiveness, their commercial and economic function, and over time have become a zone of collapse. The cultural and historical heritage elements of both the living space and the commercial and social abandonment of these centers have also been influenced by this process. However, with time, urban renovation and restoration practices focused here have come to the agenda. The historic city centers, which are the main topics of the urban and cultural heritage approaches and works because of their cultural and historical heritage, have been presented in the urban conservation approaches primarily in terms of the conservation of the concrete heritage elements, but as a result of the changes in cultural heritage approaches, the one-way urban conservation approaches have replaced them with the comprehensive approaches that deal together with the concrete and non- concrete cultural heritage. This change has made it possible for the urban renewal and resuscitation practices, which are considered one of the urban conservation methods, to be multiplied; it has made it compulsory that the subject be considered as a process of cultural renewal beyond physical renewal. It can be said that the renovation projects implemented in the city centers are basically three dimensions: the size of cultural heritage protection, the size of tourism and the social size. In this article, the social dimension was discussed in the context of the characteristics of the cultural space that enables the cultural transfer and sharing of these centers; the focus was on the cultural dimension of reanimation. In this direction, the concepts of urban renewal and resuscitation were first explained; the reasons and processes that led to the resuscitation of the city centers were pointed out. The cultural dimension of resuscitation is that the 2003 Convention on the Protection of Non-Specific Cultural Heritage includes the protection of not only the elements of heritage, but also the cultural spaces, the causes of cultural spaces loss, which is strong in the transfer function, the consequences of this loss and the needs of these spaces today have been addressed in the context of the creation of shared and transfer environments for the urban population. There are also examples of applications and projects in which the extent of the animated areas as a cultural gathering place is highlighted. In this regard, the importance of the conservation and transfer of the non-specific cultural heritage, which includes the cultural aspect proposed by the Convention, and of the comprehensive conservation approaches, has been addressed.
