Historic Urban Landscape (HUL)

The Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) is a UNESCO framework that emphasizes the importance of managing and preserving cities' historical areas within their broader urban context. It encourages integrating cultural heritage into urban planning, considering factors like social, economic, and environmental aspects. By doing so, HUL aims to protect a city's unique character and identity while supporting sustainable development. The approach recognizes that cities are living entities that evolve over time, and balancing preservation with modern growth benefits both communities and future generations.
