This paper demonstrates the impact of Genius Loci (The spirit of place) as an intangible
the character that influences the progress of the conservation and urban renewal of (MOT) Mosul
Old Town as a case study, and besides, how the safeguarding intangible heritage can improve
the conservation of the tangible heritage, particularly with conserving the Genius Loci of
historic areas.
It is affirmed that there is a significant contradiction between results obtained from the site
intangible elements investigations and those obtained from space syntax investigations, and
this leads to saying that any conscious renewal policy of old historic districts must take Genius
Loci in a high level of consideration.
