Abstract

Restoring cultural heritage in the inner cities of Lahore is essential for preserving the rich history and traditions of this vibrant city. Incorporating traditional elements into modern urban development can enhance the city's unique identity and charm. Integrating historical architecture with contemporary design can create a harmonious blend of old and new, breathing new life into Lahore's inner cities. This fusion of past and present pays homage to the city's heritage and attracts investment and economic opportunities. Active community participation is crucial in the restoration process, as it fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents. Involving local artists, artisans, and historians in conservation projects can preserve authentic cultural practices and skills at risk of being lost. Empowering communities to take pride in their cultural heritage creates a strong sense of belonging and strengthens social cohesion.

Abstract

Air pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting public health, urban ecosystems, and climate stability. Vegetation plays a crucial role in mitigating air pollution through various biophysical and biochemical processes, yet its effectiveness depends on multiple contextual factors. This literature survey aims to analyze and synthesize existing research on the role of vegetation in improving air quality, focusing on the mechanisms involved and the determinants that influence its performance across different environments. The study employs a systematic literature review approach, drawing from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and government reports published in the last two decades. The analysis highlights key mechanisms such as pollutant absorption through leaf surfaces, particulate matter deposition, and microclimate regulation that contribute to air purification. The findings also reveal that vegetation effectiveness is shaped by species characteristics, plant density, urban morphology, climatic conditions, and maintenance practices. The study concludes that strategic vegetation planning can significantly reduce urban air pollutants and enhance environmental health. These insights hold important implications for urban planners, environmental policymakers, and public health authorities in designing green infrastructure and sustainable urban landscapes. Further empirical research is recommended to quantify vegetation’s differential impact under varying ecological and socio-economic settings.
