Urban Heritage

More than half of the worlds population now lives in urban areas and cities provide the setting for a number of significant contemporary challenges, including population growth, mass tourism, and unequal access to socio-economic opportunities. Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability examines the impact of these issues on urban heritage, focusing on innovative approaches to managing developmental pressures, as well as the ways in which taking an ethical, inclusive and holistic approach to urban planning and heritage conservation may create a stronger basis for the sustainable growth of cities into the future.
