Event details
Supported by the ISCEC – ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on the Economics of Conservation, this event brings together world experts in cultural economics, regional science, geography, and conservation of tangible and intangible heritage to debate the role that cultural capital has in the progress towards sustainable, resilient cities and inclusive communities.
The event is open to the urban studies scientific community and planning authorities, as well as stakeholders involved in the management and conservation of diverse cultural heritage and in the preservation of heritage at risk.
