Province of Cagliari (Italy);
Contact: Gianpietro COMANDINI - email: gcomandini@provincia.cagliari.it
Cultural tourism is significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional mass tourism and can play an important role in the economy of the countries and regions involved in the project. These are the Province of Cagliari in Sardinia; Hunedoara County in Romania; Cape Bon in Tunisia, and Krasnodar Region, Temryuk in the Russian Federation. All four share a common history and cultural heritage that reaches back to their longstanding experience of life under Roman Empire rule. |
 Save WHL Cities War Free World Heritage Listed Cities
Location of Activities: Georgia, Lebanon,
Theme: Good Governance and Urban Development Policy
Sector: Cultural Heritage

Both Byblos (Lebanon) and Mtskheta (Georgia) are World Heritage Listed (WHL) cities which have recently been threatened by the ravages of war. Despite the fact that WHL sites have a significant impact on the image of countries and local economies, few measures are put in place to safeguard them. In part this is due to a lack of awareness of civil and military concerned authorities (and even less concern is shown by attacking forces) of the provisions of 1954 Hague Convention and its two Protocols. An even more significant impacting factor is the lack of structures, guidelines, and capacity to develop appropriate policies, and prepare and implement risk management plans. |

Moscow and Ukraine are two very important centres of the Russian avant-garde architectural movement of the 1920s and 30s. Since the 1990s, however, little money has gone into conserving these buildings. With many developers and architects considering it cheaper to replace rather than to preserve, iconic examples of this cultural and architectural heritage have more recently been threatened by numerous development projects. This in turn threatens the distinctive character and cultural specificities of Moscow and Kiev. |
