Cities have been consisted of many deteriorated textures. The renovation designs have been provided due to many problems the residents face with. These designs are not always successful. Lack of specific patterns or enough experience regarding the intervention in the deteriorated textures is one of the reasons of these designs failure. Therefore, this paper attempts to investigate the intervention in the deteriorated textures with an overall insight to the experiences of some countries. Paying attention to the social, cultural and economic status of the residents, providing the required infrastructures, paying attention to the ownerships, and promoting the public cooperation level are the important indices in most of the renovation designs. The purpose of the present research is to study the role of renovation and reconstruction in the world`s deteriorated textures descriptively.
