Conserving urban history

Managing historical cities

Description

Conserving urban history involves identifying, protecting, and maintaining historically significant buildings, sites, and cultural landscapes within cities. This strategy aims to prevent the loss of heritage due to urban development, neglect, or decay by implementing legal protections, adaptive reuse, and community engagement. Practical actions include restoration, documentation, and integrating heritage conservation into urban planning, thereby preserving cultural identity, fostering local pride, and supporting sustainable tourism and education.
