The Sustainability of Urban Heritage Preservation: The Case of Siracusa, Italia

UNESCO World Heritage recognition for Syracuse, Italy, and its rocky Necropolis of Pantalica highlights the site's exceptional historical, artistic, architectural, and natural heritage. This study examines how urban heritage preservation efforts in Syracuse—particularly within the Historic Center of Ortigia and surrounding areas like Cassaro, Ferla, and Sortino—can be sustained while balancing conservation with development. The research likely employs a combination of historical analysis, architectural assessment, and sustainability frameworks to evaluate the long-term viability of preserving such culturally significant landscapes.
