International Conference Cultural Heritage at the Urban and Metropolitan Peripheries
Cultural heritage plays an important role in the mediation between the a priori conflicted concepts of conservation and development. This issue is particularly crucial for the cultural heritage of urban peripheries, which with proper management can contribute to a more inclusive society by facilitating a closer integration of economic, social and symbolic values.
The heritage of urban fringes is emergent and shifting. Undervalued in recent years, the heterogeneous vestiges and heritages of the suburbs are gradually being recognized by local, metropolitan and regional authorities as assets on which is possible to build new and more inclusive scenarios for local development.
The International Conference on Cultural Heritage and Urban Peripheries is organized as part of the framework of the activities of the Una Europa Alliance in the field of Cultural Heritage.
The conference aims to be a forum for debate on the current state of knowledge in field of cultural heritage of urban peripheries. It will take place in Paris, at the Institut National d’Histoire d’Art (INHA) Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (2, Rue Vivienne, 75002, Paris).
