Summary
A comparative analysis of the nomination dossiers for Brasília, Tel-Aviv, and Le Havre—three modern cities inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites—reveals distinct yet overlapping narratives of urban patrimonialization. The study highlights how each city's dossier strategically framed its historical significance, architectural innovation, and cultural value to meet UNESCO criteria. While all three cities emphasize their modernist heritage, differences emerge in their approaches to documentation, preservation challenges, and the broader socio-political contexts shaping their candidacies. This analysis offers insights into the complexities of urban patrimonialization, underscoring both universal themes and unique local dynamics.
