 re and Heritage:\n\nDr Minna Sunikka   (Centre for Sustainable Development

 xisting building stock \n\nDr Christopher Young   (Head of World Heritage

 eritage sites in the UK and the latest changes in the regulations/challeng
 es they face now (TBC).\n\nDennis Rodwell    (Architect/urban planner/cons

 a Pereira Roders    (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven)         \nUNESCO P
 roject: on-line tool on sustainable management in the World Heritage sites
 \n\nTatiana Vakhitova     (PhD Researcher\, Centre for Sustainable Develop
 ment)\nSustainability in the World Heritage cities: introduction to the re
 search (UK-based case-studies)\n\nHeritage plays an important role in a ci
 ties’ life:\nit helps to shape a communities identity\, boost the econom
 y through tourism and investment and allows\nefficient resource use (mater
 ials/energy) in case of reuse/rehabilitation of the buildings. Still urban
 \ndevelopment projects in most cases do not explicitly\ntake into account 
 all the values of heritage. Therefore we do not achieve the utmost in deve
 lopment\nprojects from the potential social and environmental\nbenefits of
  the historic environment.\n\n\n\nHeritage is in many cases perceived as s
 omething that ‘complicates’ the project\; rather than seen as an oppor
 tunity and advantage\, potentially presenting a valuable ‘historical fra
 mework’ for\ndevelopment. Careful consideration of all the diverse\nvalu
 es ‘embodied in heritage’(scientific\, historic\, social\, aesthetic/a
 rtistic\, besides ecological/economical) and its placement in the core of 
 the urban development\, are all\nargued to help the achievement of sustain
 ability targets.
