Landmark Preservation Area

The term "Urban Conservation" seems to have a large environmental component or even a focus, at least here in the U.S.

I used Radek's (and my) favorite tool with the results listed at links listed below.

Frequency of occurence on the Internet does not necesarilly indicate which term is the proper one. In this case, I think, the few "Landmark Preservation Areas" highlited on the Internet testify to the fact that there are not that many in existence, or, at the least, not too many having a website. :-)

Happy Valentine's Day, you all. :-)

I should have added the \"City\'s\" or \"Urban\" to the term suggested.

Landmark is: An object in the landscape, which, by its conspicuousness, serves as a guide in the direction of one’s course (orig. and esp. as a guide to sailors in navigation); hence, any conspicuous object which characterizes a neighbourhood or district.
(In mod. use.) An object which marks or is associated with some event or stage in a process; esp. a characteristic, a modification, etc., or an event, which marks a period or turning-point in the history of a thing.

Also, mesto is usually not translated as landmark

I also checked urban preservation area - 36 hits - which sems to be the best fit.
