Le « patrimoine du quotidien », enjeu renouvelé pour les urbanistes européens

Abstract

Our societies have become more and more aware of the importance of safeguarding their heritage. Heritage policies have expanded, going from the museification of outstanding urban sites to the wise management of landscapes representative of local identities and cultures. As a consequence, methods of urban planning change. The present paper shows the complementarity heritage protection and management in the French system. It uses the case of Troyes to show how heritage protection is being implemented and included in territorial marketing strategies. Finally, it addresses some key issues that European cities are facing when performing heritage policies.
