​The study focuses on historic city center development, using smart city tools combined with sustainable planning strategies for the revitalization of Al-Salt Downtown into a smart environment. The study opens with a profound analysis based on current conditions by analyzing maps of the city center, mental maps of the site, and the accessibility network to understand the nature of the existing urban structure and the challenges it faces. The present analysis will also give full insight into the peculiarities of the area and those sites that most need development, in addition to the identification of strengths and opportunities that may be valued for the improvement of the city. It also highlights the possible elements that can help develop this area by finding and identifying specific sites for development, such as upgrading pedestrian paths, green public spaces, al “Souk” market, restoration of heritage buildings, improvement of residential and commercial areas, and digital connectivity. It tends to be particularly concerned with site mapping elaboration in such a way that an integrated experience is achieved to make residents and visitors flow in, developing further attachment to the city. The study necessitates the presentation of a new master plan designed to comply with the initial analyses and development proposals, ensuring integration between heritage elements and smart innovations that conserve the cultural identity of Al-Salt Downtown while providing a better quality of life for the residents. ©2025 The authors.​​
