Urban heritage conservation is increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating community-driven approaches to not only preserve physical landmarks but also interpret and convey the cultural significance of historical precincts. The study emphasizes how participatory methodologies can challenge traditional top-down urban planning paradigms by integrating both community-driven engagement and heritage interpretation through weaving local narratives, cultural memory, and interpretive practices into the fabric of urban regeneration. The research focuses on how community involvement in the project was not only integral to the conservation process but also to the interpretation of the heritage site’s meaning and significance. Key findings highlight that the integration of heritage interpretation within the revitalization process allowed the community to act as co-creators of the cultural narrative, contributing professional skills in heritage documentation and interpretation of
intangible cultural heritage. The study illustrates how community engagement in heritage interpretation can offer a sustainable and context-sensitive framework for urban revitalization.
