Key Points

To establish a documentary-based Urban Digital Twin framework for digitally reconstructing demolished historic urban landscapes and measuring long-term green infrastructure loss.
Implemented a nine-step workflow combining georeferencing, viewpoint reconstruction, cross-source validation, and Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) parametric modeling.
Integrated archival photographs, historical maps, travel account engravings, and measured historical plans for the reconstruction of Chahar-Bagh Bala Street in Isfahan, Iran.
Confirmed the historical existence and precise spatial locations of two lost royal garden entrances through convergent visual evidence.
Quantified that approximately 70% of the original historic garden cover along the promenade was lost and replaced by modern structures.
