1. RECOGNITION THAT WHILE THE
MATERIAL SIGNIFICANCE OFHISTORIC TOWNS IS
CONCENTRATED INSIDE THETRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES, THERE
IS ADDITIONAL CRUCIAL
SIGNIFICANCE WITHIN THE
BROADER TERRRITORY

2. RECOGNITION THAT THE VALUESOF HISTORIC TOWNS RESIDE IN/ON
TANGIBLE FEATURES & INTANGIBLE
ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS LAND USE,
TRADITIONAL ASSEMBLIES,
SACREDNESS OF PLACE, ETC.

24. The approach based on the historic urban landscape implies the application of a
range of traditional and innovative tools adapted to local contexts. Some of these
tools, which need to be developed as part of the process involving the different
stakeholders, might include:
(a) Civic engagement tools should involve a diverse cross-section of stakeholders, and
empower them to identify key values in their urban areas, develop visions that reflect
their diversity, set goals, and agree on actions to safeguard their heritage and promote
sustainable development.
(b) Knowledge and planning tools should help protect the integrity and authenticityof the attributes of urban heritage.
(c) Regulatory systems should reflect local conditions, and may include legislative and
regulatory measures aimed at the conservation and management of the tangible and
intangible attributes of the urban heritage, including their social, environmental and
cultural values. Traditional and customary systems should be recognized andreinforced as necessary.
(d) Financial tools should be aimed at building capacities and supporting innovative
income-generating development, rooted in tradition

28. Member States and international
governmental and non-governmentalorganizations should facilitate public
understanding and involvement in the
implementation of the historic urbanlandscape approach, by disseminating best
practices and lessons learned from
different parts of the world, in order tostrengthen the network of knowledge-
sharing and capacity-building. UNESCO HUL

Perceived results of 2013 Savannah Symposium
CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED
Integration into preservation frameworks ofanthropologic and ethnographic studies that focus onintangible heritage, even when they aregeographically specific.
Need to expand the heritage team with newdisciplines
Tendency persists to study the built heritage inisolation of intangible heritage.
Failure of built heritage practitioners to understandand effectively engage stakeholders; as legal andregulatory systems do not require it.

Perceived results of 2013 Savannah Symposium
MORE CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED
Sole reliance on the capacity of cultural heritage
to solve highly complex demographic trends and
socio-economic problems in urban contexts
through technical means. Heritage acts inconcert with social factos relevant to our work
that are relevant. Place in opportunities
Use of traditional (and obsolete?) approach toUS heritage districts constrains ability to sustain
resilient communities

Perceived results of 2013 Savannah Symposium
Opportunities identified in our current recognition of heritage
The case of Doha and other Arab Gulf cultures,where surviving intangible heritage traditionsneed to be re-anchored geographically to thephysical forms and territories to resuscitatemeaning and sustainability.
The case of Savannah , where informants sharetheir city to enlarge recognition for intangible
and tangible heritage The case of Edinburgh to define the desired
state of conservation as a baseline.

Perceived results of 2013 Savannah Symposium
NEW TOOLS IDENTIFIED THAT NEED SHARING and REPLICATION
Methodologies developed for integral heritage
assessment in Santa Cruz de Mompox, Zanzibar
and in US National Heritage Areas
Methodologies developed in Selma, Alabamaand in SCAD for recognizing the heritage of
multiple and underrepresented stakeholders
(often not previously recognized) in a single HUL(and reconciling them, if necessary), and NOT as
separate entities

Methodologies developed in SCAD for engaging
stakeholder protagonists in designing and re-shapingcommunal life and its urban setting
Methodologies developed in Edinburgh for SkylineStudy in order to balance heritage and development
and for establishing limits of acceptable change
