World Bank To Address Investing in Historic City Cores and Cultural Heritage Assets for Sustainable Development

The Economics of Uniqueness

Investing in Historic City Cores and Cultural Heritage Assets for Sustainable Development

Edited by Guido Licciardi and Rana Amirtahmasebi

This book collects innovative research papers authored by leading scholars and practitioners in heritage economics, and presents the most current knowledge on how heritage assets can serve as drivers of local economic development. What this book tries to suggest is a workable approach to explicitly take into account the cultural dimensions of urban regeneration in agglomerations that have a history and possess a unique character, going beyond an approach based solely on major cultural heritage assets or landmarks.
