This paper aimed to discuss urban conservation challenges along the axes of two streets in the neighborhood of Yenikapı leading towards Kumkapı. The Yenikapı area of the historic peninsula of Istanbul is known to have been inhabited since prehistoric times, and it was the site of an important late antiquity port. Many cultural assets, including monuments from a number of periods and nineteenth century houses, remain in the area, but jarring changes have occurred due to newly built constructions, town planning decisions, and the development of public transport. Before any proposal for future area conservation activities, the current state of conservation was inspected through onsite analyses conducted along Paşazade, İmrahor Hamamı, and Sepetçi Selim streets. By analyzing the pressures affecting the historical peninsula, the challenges in the conservation effort of the study area were determined, followed by some proposals for its enhancement and general conservation.

The paper stems from the studio of Urban Preservation-Conservation for Graduate Studies Programme, which was run between February and June 2019 under the coordination of the authors. Highlighting the value of the cultural heritage and historic importance of the area, revitalization to preserve the urban character was suggested. The current state of conservation was investigated through recent onsite analyses, one of the most important tasks in understanding the integrity and authenticity of the area.

本文旨在讨论沿 Yenikapı 附近通往 Kumkapı 的两条街道轴线的城市保护挑战。众所周知，伊斯坦布尔历史悠久的半岛的 Yenikapı 地区自史前时代就有人居住，这里是一个重要的古代晚期港口。许多文化资产，包括多个时期的纪念碑和 19 世纪的房屋，都保留在该地区，但由于新建建筑、城市规划决策和公共交通的发展，发生了令人震惊的变化。在对未来的区域保护活动提出任何建议之前，通过沿 Paşazade、İmrahor Hamamı 和 Sepetçi Selim 街道进行的现场分析检查了当前的保护状态。通过分析影响历史半岛的压力，
