Using local, national and international perspectives on the meanings and uses of heritage cities, this book explores how a site can turn into a mummification of the past, lifelessly displaying long-gone splendour, or a living, breathing treasure offering dynamic cultural and educational opportunities.
Using local, national and international perspectives on the meanings and uses of heritage cities, this book explores how a site can turn into a mummification of the past, lifelessly displaying long-gone splendour, or a living, breathing treasure offering dynamic cultural and educational opportunities. Multiple and competing views, needs and desires amongst the different people who use a city are explored alongside notions of power, national identity, race and class in heritage settings. Discussing the case of UNESCO World Heritage town Ouro Preto in Brazil, the author asks how and why democratic participation in heritage fails or succeeds, and how preserved historic cities can still provide quality of life to those living and working there.
