Résumé en anglais
Originally, initiated as ICOMOS Action Plan on 20th Century Heritage, and named Montreal Action Plan (MAP20), this plan expresses the concern of ICOMOS members andcommittees about the protection, conservation, management and presentation of more recent forms of cultural heritage that demonstrate intellectual, social, technological or artistic evolution. MAP20 is the production of a global survey of the theme from the worldwide network of ICOMOS National and International Scientific Committees. It took place thanksto the financial support of Quèbec’s Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, the City of Montréal, ICOMOS Finland, US/ICOMOS, and private organizations. This initiative has been actual for nearly 20 years and had broughttogether ICOMOS to co-operate with organizations such as DOCOMOMO, ICCROM, UNESCO, TICCIH, Council of Europe, the US and Canadian National Parks Services. ICOMOS has also been cooperating closely with UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre to promote the nomination of 20th century properties for the World Heritage List. Additionally, many national reports included in the Heritage at Risk 2000 Report, mentioned concern over the fate of various heritage types associated with 19th and 20th century that has been finally documented and identified in the 20th century Heritage Survey project that was undertaken with the support of the US/ICOMOS Summer Intern Program 2002.
