Abstract
Faisalabad is experiencing a surge in industrial development alongside its established agricultural base. This economic growth, however, presents a challenge of balancing progress with environmental protection. Industrial activity can often lead to environmental degradation, impacting the city's physical landscape and the health of its residents. To address this concern, the current research focused on the restoration of the Faisalabad Clock Tower, a historical structure from the British Era. The Clock Tower holds a significant importance due to its role in the city's early urban planning and its status as a prominent landmark. The research methodology employed a comprehensive literature review, examining local and international examples of heritage building projects. Air pollution levels were measured around the Clock Tower by using HORIBA APMA 360. According to the findings, NO2 was found above the limit which confirmed that the presence of pollutants is the major deterioration factor. Furthermore, a detailed physical survey of the Clock Tower was conducted to identify the deteriorated areas within the building. The research culminates in a proposal outlining the necessary restoration work for the Clock Tower, informed by a thorough analysis that caters to architectural and environmental concerns to ensure a sustainable and historically sensitive restoration of this iconic structure.
