| The Role of Heritage in Localising SDGs in the Metropolis | 2025 | This is the Volume 2 of the Heritopolis Working Papers representing the activities of its Research Forum and the diverse studies on Heritage and the Metropolis that were debated by researchers around the world. The document is an effort to reflect on the new role of heritage in the current context, being aware of the ongoing demographic, economic, political and demographic challenges while considering heritage as a resource to be managed in the support of common wellbeing. Moreover, with the metropolis becoming a dominant urban typology, the heritage values can support vibrant living and unique identities in the ever-growing conurbations. This demonstrates the key role that heritage, both natural and cultural, plays in supporting spatial sustainability and the symbiotic relationships. The changing notion of heritage poses a challenge to metropolitan policies, calling for a more comprehensive view that acknowledges its dynamic nature and its influence on future generations. For this reason, it is believed that the overarching approach to heritage in the metropolis should be in the localising of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other future goals and priorities, which have brought to give this Volume the title of The Role of Heritage in Localising SDGs in the Metropolis. |
