2015 World Heritage Centre Urban Heritage Study

WHC study ‐ detailed status of human settlements by international team



Selected Study Findings Overview

Defining human settlements‐ city town village‐ density at any scale UN Habitat 1, 1976

World Heritage 571 listings, urban heritage count at 1,631, increase from 819 in 2009

Urban heritage threats not easily addressed in SoC reports, more study needed

WH Tentative Lists require study to understand trends in nominating urban heritage

Deeper engagement of Advisory Parties, IUCN, ICCROM, ICOMOS would aid progress

HUL mainstreaming progressing at local level, not state party reported

Urban heritage case study global progress noted, parity of data needed

Urgent capacity building/training needs, to foster good governance and management

Concentration of World Heritage inscribed human settlements with over half of the 1,631 in only 6 state parties
