The historical fabric of any city is not only a cultural and artistic treasure of that city but also preserves an important part of the essence of that city in its heart. It can be said that the protection of this texture is essentially the protection of the city's identity. As a result, various methods have been proposed to preserve and maintain these fabrics. This study aims to explain how the culture-led regeneration process intervenes in the dysfunctional urban fabric. Another aim is to provide a model for dynamic protection of historical fabric, using the perspectives of this method. In this regard, not only the existing approaches in regeneration have been studied, but also by researching one of the successful regenerations in the historical fabric of Shiraz (Sang-e Siah neighborhood), an integrated model with a culture-led approach has been presented. Field observation and library research have been used to achieve this goal, the most important of which have been: studying of high-level documents, field observation, and interviews with 17 individuals involved in the regeneration of Sange-E-Siah neighborhood. The resulting pattern consists of ten steps which cover the social, economic, and physical aspects. This model covers all aspects of theory, moreover proves its efficiency in practice, and due to its flexible nature, it is possible to be used in other cities and historical fabrics as well.The importance of this essay can be mentioned in two points: First, it Examines aspects of culture-led regeneration to apply this approach and rescues it from a purely slogan-oriented approach in urban planning. Second, providing a model for implementing the process of culture-led regeneration in urban neighborhoods with a flexible approach which includes various dimensions.
