Conflict of interest: urban planning caught between world heritage and growth pressures

Historical city centres are held to be worthy of preservation. The label “World Heritage Site” imposes restrictions on planning and conserves both material and immaterial patrimony. The redesign of Vienna’s Heumarkt district is a typical example of urban planning conflicts in a designated World Heritage Site. How can cities develop without damaging their historic heritage? How can we achieve a balance between preservation and renewal?
