Introduction

Tangible and Intangible Heritage

Chapter of: Tangible and Intangible Heritage in the Age of Globalisation(pp. 1–8)
The introduction to the book frames its study of the architectural and urban spaces that shape cities’ tangible heritage, considering the urban networks, residential spaces and materials and methods of construction. The book also examines the parameters governing societies’ intangible heritage by defining: (i) individuals according to local identities, cultures and religions, (ii) behaviours rooted in local ways of life and social values, and (iii) practices including local customs, feasts and festivals. It outlines the relevance of globalisation to the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage and introduces the different chapters and what they will contribute to the book.
