“…Consequently, some studies have highlighted the importance of developing and operationalising landscape-based management frameworks to enable the safeguarding of heritage values and attributes while at the same time allowing for change [49,66]. However, discussion on the thresholds of 'acceptable change' remains at an early stage, particularly on the topics of climate change mitigation and adaptation fields [65,[67][68][69]; a larger focus has been on socioeconomic development and its impacts on WH properties [70][71][72].…”

Climate change is increasingly being recognized as a threat to natural and cultural World Heritage (WH) sites worldwide. Through its interaction with other stressors, climate change accelerates existing risks while also creating new obstacles. A more considerable focus is needed in both research and practice to explore proactive measures for combatting this issue (e.g., mitigation and actions prior to impacts occurring). World Heritage values in climate change decision-making processes is an important factor in this regard. This paper explores a discussion of climate change within the WH monitoring system. It offers an overview of practice based on the extent to which WH properties (natural, mixed and cultural) implement landscape-based approaches alongside the conservation and management of their outstanding universal value within the context of climate uncertainty and environmental change. Landscape approaches are gaining importance in the WH conservation system, where they aim to provide concepts and tools for managing heritage toward sustainable practices. This research analyses the state of conservation reports and provides an overview of practice across time, categories and geographical regions. Based on a theoretical approach, empirical analyses identify four landscape principles that are increasingly shaping the debate around climate change issues in WH properties. Although these are highly relevant to advancing much-needed collaboration among scientific disciplines and governance sectors, we argue that further understanding is required on the transformational process of heritage values, as well as on the nature-culture relationship, in order to underpin heritage as a source for local resilience and climate mitigation.

“…While both heritage and sustainability entail future-oriented processes, their links are often made through notions of management and development [16]. In principle, the management of heritage comprises buildings, sites, and other properties of historical, cultural, political, artistic, and/or religious significance in addition to community-related knowledge, traditions, and innovations, which are protected for future generations.…”

Not until recently, the evaluation of the impact of heritage on sustainable development, as explained by Fouseki and Nicolau [16], adopted "one-dimensional methodological approaches by using social and economic indicators separately rather than in interconnection".…”

Reviewing Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tools through Critical Heritage Studies

This article reports on a critical review of how cultural heritage is addressed in two internationally well-known and used neighborhood assessment tools (NSAs): BREEAM Communities (BREEAM-C) and LEED Neighborhood Design (LEED-ND). The review was done through a discourse analysis in which critical heritage studies, together with a conceptual linking of heritage to sustainability, served as the point of departure. The review showed that while aspects related to heritage are present in both NSAs, heritage is re-presented as primarily being a matter of safeguarding material expressions of culture, such as buildings and other artifacts, while natural elements and immaterial-related practices are disregarded. Moreover, the NSAs institutionalize heritage as a field of formal knowledge and expert-dominated over the informal knowledge of communities.

“…The international debate is concentrated on the internal and external factors of tackling urban decline, such as a citizen-led neighbourhood (Coletti and Rabiossi 2020), a heritage-led concept (Lak, Gheitasi, and Timothy 2020;Fouseki and Nicolau 2018) and the European regulative mechanism (Gregorio Hurtado 2019), as well as those related National Programmes based on NU values (Vale 2018). The issue of urban regeneration is still a valid challenge, especially for places with a rich industrial heritage (Lehmann 2019a;Kostešić, Vukić, and Vukić 2019), where public spaces play an important role (Mussinelli et al 2020;Lehmann 2019b).…”

Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social-how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic-how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental-how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).
