Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of activities related to the re-use of the bank buildings as part of sustainable development policy. Existing old and historic bank buildings have great architectural potential. It should also be mentioned that bank buildings are among the most crucial constructions in the hierarchy of city buildings and as such, they are a testament to the cultural heritage of cities. Preserving them in the city structures enriches social capital, cultural value, and tradition. In this context, the adaptation of the bank buildings to perform new features seems very well-founded, but above all, it becomes important for the promotion of sustainability environment.
