La conservación del patrimonio arquitectónico a partir del tipo. El caso de Santa Cruz de Mompox

Strict regulatory frameworks are essential to preserve the architectural heritage of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as demonstrated by a study on Santa Cruz de Mompox. The research reveals that while initial recommendations were made in 1970 and formal regulations adopted in 1994, the implementation of a comprehensive management plan in 2010 was crucial to prevent significant alterations that could erode the site's unique architectural identity. The study analyzes these norms, particularly those governing expansions in surface area or height, which, if not carefully controlled, risk altering the very characteristics that define Mompox as a World Heritage Site. By focusing on typological analysis of buildings, the research underscores how even well-intentioned interventions can lead to irreversible loss of cultural and architectural values.
