Résumé en anglais
All over the world empowering the community is the buzz word. It's the new way forwardbeing propagated by most agencies world over. This paper would like to address the role of community
and the role of a conservation expert vis-a-vis the built heritage. It would also like to emphasise the rolethat cultural heritage plays within urban development. Based on the experience of Braj studies, this paper
wants to explore this contrast between the community empowerment approach vis-a-vis technicalexpertise approach. It wants to put forth through the case study of Braj the pros and cons of both the
approaches. This paper explores the different approaches of heritage conservation between experts andlocal people. It wants to emphasise that various stakeholders, local authorities, experts, local citizens have
to participate, communicate and then reach a consensus on their heritage. Only then does heritage becomeinseparable from its people. The question to be debated is "what is good for heritage and what is good for
the community?"
