EU's architectural heritage policies
The EU's architectural heritage policies aim to protect and preserve buildings and sites of historical, cultural, and aesthetic significance. They encourage member states to safeguard their architectural diversity, promote sustainable restoration practices, and support the restoration of endangered sites. The EU provides funding, guidance, and standards to ensure heritage conservation is integrated into urban development, fostering identity and tourism while respecting environmental considerations. Overall, these policies seek to maintain Europe's diverse architectural legacy for future generations.
