Section 2 - Heritage preservation: tensions and competing interests

Tensions and competition arise from various factors influencing heritage preservation. These include its role as a driver of development, subject to the fluctuations of its environment such as warfare, tourism, and urbanisation. Such dynamics create a complex landscape where heritage preservation contends with:

  • Daily activities like transportation and housing.
  • The urban expansion of metropolises amidst global competition.
  • The demands of mass tourism.
  • Environmental vulnerabilities.
  • Instances of conflict. Within these contexts, various stakeholders engage in competition and conflicts of use, as seen in the tensions between tourists and residents or the displacement of lower-income population by gentrification.

It becomes imperative to explore how heritage can be safeguarded in this context.
