Résumé en anglais
Changing urban land values and the resulting unevenness of real estate development on a global scale have together left many significant heritage resources and associated historic urban landscapes (HULs) vulnerable to accelerated market demand, or alternatively, to neglect and abandonment. While global and transnational processes lie outside the control of heritage site managers there are notable empirical examples of attempts to make heritage a positive contributing factor to economic development.
