Abstract
UNESCO adopted the World Heritage Convention (WHC) concerning ‘the Protection of the World’s Cultural and Natural Heritage’ in 1972. The Convention describes sites with Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) as the common heritage of humankind, hence it encourages their protection as a shared responsibility of member states. After decades, the inscription of cultural and natural sites on the WH List has been subjected to lively debates in both the profession-al and academic sectors. The aim of the Conference was to discuss ‘historic cities’ on the WHL through the lens of the UNESCO Site Management Plan (MP) instrument, which became compulsory for candidature from 2002.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
