11. The Historic Urban Landscape Approach as a Tool for Port Said Heritage Conservation

  • Amany Abdelsadeq S. Hussein (author)
Chapter of: Urban Heritage and Sustainability in the Age of Globalisation(pp. 235–260)
In Chapter Eleven, Amany Abdelsadeq S. Hussein investigates Port Said, located at the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal in Egypt. Her analysis draws upon UNESCO’s 2011 Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape, which integrates heritage conservation strategies within the wider framework of city development. The application of this approach as a tool for the conservation and management of historic areas in Port Said entails consideration of cultural, social and economic values and their dynamic interactions. It also explores the possible adjustment of current local policies to achieve real urban heritage preservation.
