The DEEP CITIES/ CURBATHERI case studies
Case studies are selected for being urban interventions targeting fragmented or disarticulated heritage. Together, these are expected to exemplify contrasting arrays of management and context dynamics.
These include conflictive views on heritage values opposing institutional and community heritage discourses as well as best practices.
In order to facilitate the scope of the research, partner institutions are expected to have prior experience in selected sites to benefit from local networks that will facilitate the trial and general applicability of the toolbox in different situational contexts.
