Abstract
Much of the historically valuable architectural fabric of the city of Samara is currently in an unsatisfactory condition. Therefore it is advisable to develop and implement effective measures for the conservation and renewal of architectural heritage. This article describes a comprehensive method for the preservation of urban architectural properties of historical and cultural value. The proposed systematic approach enables the scope of renewal works to be justified. Furthermore, its implementation should result in a raised profile and increased tourist visitor numbers for heritage properties and their adjacent areas. The proposed method facilitates both the creation and the regeneration of spaces for recreation and consequently an increase in foot-fall within the adjacent social infrastructure, as part of a general broadening of the cultural-aesthetic life of the city.

Summary
In the central regions of Russia, large cities founded on the banks of major rivers have a rich history. Such factors as natural resources and transport routes, facilitating industrial production and trade, have played an important role in the development and improvement of cities. The authors' research on historically valuable architectural constructions in Samara has shown that many buildings are collapsing and may well be lost forever [6,7,8,9,10,11]. There is a wealth of international experience in the renewal and conservation of historically valuable buildings and constructions; for example, in the Polish city of Krakow [12]
