Cities and cultural heritages: resilient policies and safeguard measures

Abstract

Urban centres and cultural heritages have become increasingly vulnerable to risks arising from rapid urbanization, climate change, and anthropogenic threats. In this study, we will seek to address this issue starting from the social and economic role that cultural heritage plays in cities - as a vehicle for identity and dialogue between diverse cultures - an important resource to be valued and protected through methods and strategies, as already specified in Target 11.4 of the 2030 Agenda.
