The preservation and a risk plano of Unesco cultural heritage

WAR FREE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED CITIES project was designed and financed within the framework of the EU CIUDAD program. It is an international cooperation project focused on urban and regional planning for cities that are registered in the World Heritage List and located in critical areas being exposed to the threats of conflicts and natural hazards such as earthquakes or flood. As case studies, Risk Preparedness Plans and Risk Mitigation measures have been defined for Byblos (Lebanon) and Mtskheta (Georgia) in order to create the required conditions for both cities to be candidates for enhanced protection status to UNESCO and will be presented in this work, for applications to other UNESCO sites at risk.
