+ The European Association of Historic Towns and Regions


The rapidly changing basic conditions of modern times pose a big challenge on the management of historic towns in Europe.

The imbalance of progress and the preservation of the historic urban fabric often results in either economic stagnancy or the loss of cultural heritage values and with it the loss of identity.


Sighisoara



Developing integrated and innovative management strategies for historic urban landscapes

Facilitating the right balance between the preservation of built cultural heritage and the sustainable, future-proof socio-economic development of historic towns in order to strengthen their attractiveness and competitiveness

Managing conflicting usage interests and capitalising the potential of cultural heritage assets for economic, social and cultural activities. Valletta



Conjointly, the HerO partners have agreed on three main topics for the network’s exchange activities:

The Cultural Heritage Integrated Management Plan as an effective tool for sustainable urban development

Preserving the Visual Integrity of Historic Urban Areas

Multifunctional Old Towns: Balancing the demands of inhabitants, visitors, local economy, etc…
