City heritage

City heritage refers to the combined historical, cultural, architectural, and social elements that define a city's unique identity over time. It includes buildings, monuments, neighborhoods, traditions, and stories that reflect the city’s past and contribute to its character today. Preserving city heritage ensures that these valuable aspects are maintained for future generations, fostering a sense of community and continuity. It also supports tourism, education, and urban development by recognizing the importance of a city’s history in shaping its present and future.
