Cultural Landscapes as Resource for the Revitalization of Cultural Heritage and a Sustainable Regional Development

This anthology offers an accessible and exciting read on cultural landscape(s) and their heritage as resources for regional development. It presents thirteen reflection papers that are based on inter- and transdisciplinary exchanges from 2020-23 as part of Heidelberg University’s Flagship Initiative “Transforming Cultural Heritage.” The contributions bring “classical” heritage research disciplines such as archaeology and history into a vivid and fruitful dialogue with social sciences, area studies, and practical conservation. Topics discussed include the promotion of local characteristics and knowledge as well as a more community-orientated landscape stewardship in Europe and Asia.
