Framing of space and place: an insight into George Town World Heritage Site, Penang, Malaysia

Research on George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Malaysia, reveals how space and place are framed to influence power dynamics, community identities, and urban regeneration. The study identifies key frames—heritage conservation, politics, tourism, education, and community-based policies—that shape the 'Street of Harmony' and its interactions with local communities. By analyzing field observations and semi-structured interviews, the findings contribute to sustainable urban development practices that balance resilience, preservation, and non-disruptive regeneration.
