Modern heritage refers to the preservation and appreciation of significant cultural, architectural, and historical sites and artifacts from the late 19th century to the present day. Unlike traditional heritage, which often focuses on ancient or medieval objects, modern heritage encompasses structures like contemporary buildings, industrial sites, and recent art movements that reflect societal changes. It aims to recognize the value of recent history and its impact on our identity, engaging communities in preserving these aspects of our past for future generations to understand and appreciate.
