The Policy of Surabaya Municipality in Developing Sustainable Urban Infrastructures by Conserving Urban Heritage

Abstract

Cultural heritage conservation is related to tangible heritage and is often classified as immovable heritage and movable heritage. A city heritage; a part of it includes historical sites which is considered as a cultural heritage that possesses typical styles and architectural characteristics wherein past values are embedded. Thus, urban heritage as urban treasure can actually serve as the main resource in creating a cityimage/branding. Rapid growth of modernization and globalization seems to have pushed aside the urban heritage which is located in the city. Surabaya is the City of Heroes which has a lot of monument and historical buildings as cultural heritage conservation. Therefore, the local government of Surabaya is required to implement an inclusive, safe, strong and sustainable policy of urban development by maintaining urban heritage and exploiting it without removing its characteristics and underlying value as existing self-identity and pillars as the City of Heroes in order to realize Goal 11 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 or Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the target.
