Theoretical framework of cultural sustainability
The theoretical framework of cultural sustainability focuses on maintaining and supporting cultural identities, practices, and expressions over time. It emphasizes that cultures contribute to community well-being, diversity, and resilience. This framework considers cultural traditions, languages, and arts as vital parts of our collective heritage, which must be preserved and adapted responsibly to remain meaningful for future generations. It promotes an integrated approach, balancing cultural development with environmental and social sustainability, ensuring that cultural values are respected, protected, and promoted in ways that support long-term cultural vitality and diversity.
