Yesterday, I (Francesca Giliberto) attended the workshop “Managing Urban Heritage for Sustainable Development in World Heritage Context” in Bamberg (Germany) with my AGREE colleagues, Mesut Dinler as well as Paloma Guzman and Ole Fredrik Unhammer (online).
Organised by International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the World Heritage Office Bamberg, and bringing together academics and World Heritage site managers based in various institutions across Europe, the workshop stimulated a fruitful conversation on how to improve current urban heritage governance, management systems, and World Heritage management plans.
We also reflected on how to develop an integrated framework for World Heritage management in an urban context, and the workshop gave us a moment to think about the next steps, possible partnerships, and ongoing and future synergies.
Thanks Simona von Eyb, Rohit Jigyasu, Nicole Franceschini, Ge Li, Matthias Ripp, Monia Del Pinto, Juliana Strogan, Xenia Jakubek, Wang Yu, Luana Alessandrini for making this such a fruitful and pleasant event!
