“…La primera definición de desarrollo sostenible surgida a finales de los años 1980 en el llamado Informe Brundtland (1987) se realizó como reacción a la degradación del medio ambiente y el exceso de consumo en las economías altamente industrializadas (Hosagrahar, 2015). La sostenibilidad quedaba de este modo definida como "el desarrollo que satisface las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la habilitad de las futuras generaciones de garantizar sus propias necesidades" (Informe Brundtland, 1987: 27).…”

“…La sostenibilidad quedaba de este modo definida como "el desarrollo que satisface las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la habilitad de las futuras generaciones de garantizar sus propias necesidades" (Informe Brundtland, 1987: 27). A partir de entonces el término se ha popularizado, y ha sido asumido en otros ámbitos, lo que ha generado una amplia variedad de interpretaciones semánticas que van desde ideologías políticas (Harrison, 2013;Pezzoli, 1997;Stylianou-Lambert et al, 2015) hasta el impacto ambiental de las acciones del ser humano (Auclair, Fairclough, et al, 2015;Brocchi, 2010;Dessein et al, 2015;Hosagrahar, 2015;Rodwell, 2007;Stubbs, 2004).…”

En este artículo de investigación se debate sobre la integración de la cultura y el patrimonio cultural en el modelo sostenible para la generación e implementación de políticas en beneficio del desarrollo humano. A través de un análisis diacrónico, la investigación toma como caso de estudio el proceso de incorporación de la cultura en el modelo de desarrollo sostenible examinando los debates y cuestiones clave que por más de tres décadas han contribuido al entendimiento de los aportes de la cultura en la sostenibilidad. De este modo, el artículo aporta un marco sintetizado para reflexionar sobre las posibilidades y limitaciones que plantean la cultura y el patrimonio en las diversas agendas para el desarrollo a través de su vinculación con las dinámicas económicas, sociales y medioambientales del desarrollo sostenible.

“…HHBs are unique for the power they have to evoke historical times and events, for their aesthetic and architectural value that contributes to reveal the story of a nation, a city, or a district. They are irreplaceable as an economic and socio-cultural capital as they create a sense of community and cultural identity (Spennemann, 1999; UNESCO, 2019; SDG, 2015; Hosagrahar et al. , 2016).…”

PurposeThis article introduces the Special Issue on Sustainable Management of Heritage Buildings in long-term perspective.Design/methodology/approachIt starts by reviewing the gaps in knowledge and practice which led to the creation and implementation of the research project SyMBoL—Sustainable Management of Heritage Buildings in long-term perspective funded by the Norwegian Research Council over the 2018–2022 period. The SyMBoL project is the motivation at the base of this special issue.FindingsThe editorial paper briefly presents the main outcomes of SyMBoL. It then reviews the contributions to the Special Issue, focussing on the connection or differentiation with SyMBoL and on multidisciplinary findings that address some of the initial referred gaps.Originality/valueThe article shortly summarizes topics related to sustainable preservation of heritage buildings in time of reduced resources, energy crisis and impacts of natural hazards and global warming. Finally, it highlights future research directions targeted to overcome, or partially mitigate, the above-mentioned challenges, for example, taking advantage of no sestructive techniques interoperability, heritage building information modelling and digital twin models, and machine learning and risk assessment algorithms.

“…In this regard, preserving cultural heritage and creating green spaces are key aspects for the sustainable management of historic cities. Encouraging their maintenance and utilization as urban resources not only improves the quality of life for residents but also promotes tourism and local economy, while reducing negative environmental impact in the city 73 – 75 .…”

Urban green areas minimize the negative effects of climatic change and improve the sustainability of historic cities. Despite this, green areas have traditionally been considered a threat to heritage buildings because they cause humidity changes, that accelerate degradation processes. Within this context, this study evaluates the trends in the inclusion of green areas in historic cities and the effects it causes on humidity and conservation of earthen fortifications. To achieve this goal, vegetative and humidity information has been obtained since 1985 from Landsat satellite images. The historical series of images has been statistically analysed in Google Earth Engine to obtain maps that show the means, 25th, and 75th percentiles of the variations registered in the last 35 years. The results allow visualizing spatial patterns and plotting the seasonal and monthly variations. In the decision-making process, the proposed method allows to monitor whether the presence of vegetation is an environmental degradation agent in the nearby earthen fortifications.The analysis of the historic fortified cities of Seville and Niebla (Spain) shows a gradual increase in green areas and an interest in locating them near the earthen fortifications. The impact on the fortifications is specific to each type of vegetation and can be positive or negative. In general, the low humidity registered indicates low danger, and the presence of green areas favours drying after heavy rains. This study suggests that increasing green spaces to historic cities does not necessarily endanger the preservation of earthen fortifications. Instead, managing both heritage sites and urban green areas together can encourage outdoor cultural activities, reduce the impacts of climate change, and enhance the sustainability of historic cities.
