Cultural heritage serves as a vital tool for building sustainable and resilient cities
In short: A systematic review of existing literature found that cultural heritage is a key driver in making urban environments both creative and sustainable. By looking at how culture shapes social activity, the researchers identified that preserving heritage can help communities build more resilient futures, particularly in multicultural societies facing significant socio-economic disparities.
The study highlights that while the link between heritage and sustainability is clear, several areas remain under-researched, specifically community heritage, sustainable urban governance, and multidisciplinary behavioral approaches. The researchers used a systematic review of the Dimension database and VOS viewer analysis to map these connections.
A primary limitation of this research is its nature as a literature review; it synthesizes existing knowledge rather than providing new empirical data from direct field observations or experiments.
Why it matters: Integrating cultural heritage into urban planning can help create more inclusive and resilient cities for diverse populations.
