Good Practices In Urban Conservation
• Institutional Infrastructure for Urban Heritage: Creation of institutional
frameworks/structures by the local government to support
preservation/awareness of heritage in cities including policies, legislation,
regulation;
• Integration of Heritage in Urban Planning Framework: Using heritage as
a resource for urban development and ensuring its protection and
conservation through planning policies, programs and planning.
• Revitalization of urban heritage through urban renewal: Undertaking
heritage preservation and revitalization projects in historic area/
precinct/streets/ markets/ public spaces with special heritage character in
the overall urban renewal context;
• Community /Stakeholder Participation Approach: Taking into account
relevant interest groups’ interests, and mobilization and participation of
different stakeholder groups in urban cultural heritage conservation projects
and management;
• Generating Awareness of Heritage: Conducting awareness programmes
on the need and importance of safeguarding heritage by involving all
sections of the society including local community, public, agencies,
stakeholders and various professionals.
