keywords = {Urban collective memory; a hidden phenomenon in urban context; is created gradually as the time passes. Collection of events create memories; and they keep cities dynamic and vivacious in the process of globalization in modern societies. Inhabitants make a strong relationship between their past and social identity as they own urban places; which are filled with memories. Related to this; the unsolved problem of urban decay and the inefficiency of dilapidated urban spaces forces the need for an organized renovation. Making a balance between the need for renewal from one side and preservation of memorable places or historical districts on the other side is a major intricate issue for urban managers and decision-makers. This paper seeks to investigate the role of urban collective memory in urban renewal plans and to suggest solutions and policies for promoting this concept. Following a literature review; different aspects of collective memory in urban places (i.e. physical; functional and conceptual aspects) are determined. Consequently; consideration of all aspects of collective memory is analyzed in the renewal plan of SHOHADA square (Mashhad; Iran) based on an interpretive - historical method. Finally; a number of solutions and policies for strengthening the sense of collective memory in renewal projects are presented.},
