Patrimônio histórico-cultural: casos e descasos do Centro de São Luís do Maranhão

The UNESCO-listed Historic Centre of São Luís, renowned for its eclectic, neocolonial, and Art Deco architecture, faces significant challenges to its preservation despite its cultural significance. Research reveals that the site suffers from delayed, incomplete, or disproportionate revitalization efforts, unmediated human interventions, and environmental degradation, exacerbating issues like marginalization, segregation, outdated commerce, and socioterritorial conflicts. These factors undermine the material value of the heritage site, necessitating a reevaluation of public policies for safeguarding and valorizing its patrimony. The study emphasizes the need to address these challenges to ensure the long-term conservation of this globally recognized landmark.
