Urban Heritage and Conservation

Urban heritage refers to the historical, cultural, and architectural elements of a city that contribute to its identity and sense of place. This can include landmarks, neighborhoods, buildings, and public spaces that reflect a community's past and values. Conservation is the process of preserving and protecting these elements to maintain their integrity and significance for future generations. In urban cultural geography, this focus on heritage helps us understand how cities evolve and how they can balance development with the preservation of their unique character and history.
