Inheriting the city: advancing understanding of urban heritage

摘要

This conference on urban heritage will be held in Taipei, Taiwan from 31 March to 4 April 2016. Urban heritage would appear to be an increasingly important asset for communities and governments alike, allowing cities to mark their distinctiveness and attract tourists and investment. At the same time the heritage of the future is being created. This conference seeks to examine the processes of protecting, planning and promoting urban heritage in the face of changes, pressures and opportunities globally and locally. The aim is to increase understanding of ways in which heritage can be used in the development of cities.
