Urbanism and Sustainable Heritage Development
TL;DRAbstract
The formation of urban centres has historically been a particular focus of scholarship and heritage conservation. In recent decades the processes of urbanization have become accelerated and heritage centres are taking on the full brunt of the impacts of diverse forms of globalization. At the same time as celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention, we are crossing another critical threshold in the history of humanity, with more than half the population of the world living in cities and towns. The case studies in this chapter illustrate the range of community engagement approaches taken in different parts of the world to address the challenges of conservation and sustainable development at World Heritage sites.
