Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in historical and heritage buildings as a witness to the city’s memory and cultural heritage. The Historic Center of Baghdad, specifically the Saray area, is distinguished by its historical and heritage spaces that symbolize the city and its urban and urban identity. It occupies great importance and a distinctive position in society because it displays to us the city’s cultural heritage. Therefore, it constitutes the city’s identity as well as the fact that it constitutes the cultural, social, political and economic heart of the city. The rapid developments that cities have witnessed in the recent period have led to the deterioration of these spaces despite their importance and high value to society, which has caused them to lose many of their characteristics and have become areas of poverty and exclusion devoid of any activity. Therefore, the research investigates the concept of temporary activities as one of the modern concepts that have emerged to solve urban problems and that have developed. Gradually, with the difference in contemporary urban trends, which began to call for returning to the interior of cities, exploring deteriorating spaces, working to develop them, regaining their vitality, preserving areas of value, reviving what remains of the historical and architectural heritage of the region, and ensuring its continuity for future generations through rehabilitation and development, and adding events and activities that are lacking in order to Increasing their efficiency and exploiting them for economic and cultural investment purposes, so that historical buildings become a link that ensures continuity between the past, present and future. The most important conclusion was the basic role of temporary activities in activating and reviving city spaces and the importance of protecting the identity and values of society by preserving central and valuable areas, as a number suggested. Among the recommendations, based on identifying the gap, are to rehabilitate and develop areas of historical and heritage value using the concept of temporary activities.
