    Abstract
    This paper makes a case for paying attention to the symbolic dimension of historic towns in their preservation and development, discussing what it is, how it binds all other dimensions of a place together, how to identify it, how it will guide new designs in old contexts, and how it can be instrumental in establishing socioeconomic sustainability of historic urban landscapes. The paper illustrates this thesis taking the World Heritage Town of Kandy in Sri Lanka as an example.
