Presentation
Urban heritage policies have evolved considerably since 1945, initially as a function of concerns generated by successive historical contexts, from the need to urgently rebuild historic cities partly or even totally destroyed by war, to the choice to reconvert, on the outskirts of cities, former industrial sites into cultural development zones with a partly heritage vocation.
A multidisciplinary group of researchers bringing together historians and art historians, geographers, architects and urban planners, studies in this volume the policies and processes of heritage development since 1945, and at different times, based on case studies in several historic cities in Northern and Eastern Europe (Lübeck in Germany, Gdańsk, Wrocław and a few other examples in Poland), and more recently in the outskirts of Rome. The complexity of the articulation between national, international (UNESCO, European policies) and urban policies is strongly emphasized.
