Cultural heritage in urban areas
Objectives
The workshop will summarise state-of-the-art
in the research of cultural heritage issues in relation to urban planning, development and life of
settlements in order to improve and up-to-date mutual information about scientific achievements and
capacity of research facilities in the pre-Accession to the EU countries and will support transition
of this information to the EU countries as well as to the countries of Community’s external policy
interests. It will help to select themes for medium term courses and joint or concerted research
(METEOR) in the field of cultural heritage in urban areas. It will gather data on relevant national
and international funding possibilities and it will help to choose “hot” topics in research
orientation and training of teachers necessary for a sound economic and social local or regional
development. All this will be used for relevant networking and twinning arrangements and links among
pre-Accession to the EU countries, as well as, between them and the EU countries in the area of
cultural heritage research.

- Survey methodology.
- Urban conservation conceptions.
- International comparative studies (bad and good examples).
- Definition of substantial elements and aspects of the character and identity of historic urban areas.
- Evaluation of new architecture in the historic setting.
- Benefits of cultural heritage for housing – variety of spaces for
housing, measures for enhancement and rehabilitation of cultural heritage as a contribution to
quality of housing. Measures for housing stabilisation.
- Variety of suitable uses of cultural heritage for the needs of
everyday life and limits to eliminate threats.
