Towards World Heritage

This edited volume examines the evolution of heritage preservation practices through diverse case studies, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It reveals how cultural and political dynamics have shaped preservation efforts, from early initiatives like those at Niagara Falls and St. Sophia to more recent challenges such as conflict and neglect at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The book explores legal frameworks, community engagement, and transatlantic influences on historic preservation, offering a nuanced understanding of how heritage is both conserved and contested across different contexts.
