Abstract
By analyzing the urban landscape, this investigation focuses on some commercial typologies
that exist in historical urban areas and its relationship with the urban landscape and its heritage
values. Trade plays an essential role in historical urban areas, both in the past and in the present,
since it is part of the urban landscape—creating it and modifying it, but also preserving it. Historical
protected urban areas contain diverse elements reflecting the impacts of commercial activities that
have existed in cities throughout history. At present, the urban landscape of commercial activity is
made up of a multiplicity of typologies and formats which interact with the historical landscape and
its values, using them to strengthen its strategies of attraction, differentiation, and sales. Shop owners
contribute to the preservation of historic urban areas by maintaining the commercial functions within
them. Therefore, we affirm that the role of commercial activity in the preservation of urban protected
areas is essential. However, further research is needed because this aspect has not been addressed in
depth by the scientific community specializing in the management of cultural heritage.
