Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Built heritage conservation” is a visible policy agenda in most parts of the world but its connection to sustainability awaits theoretical treatment.
This Special Issue on “Built Heritage and Sustainability” aims to stimulate thoughts on the identification and use of authentic built heritage in terms of sustainable development for the common good, which is understood as a socio-political process that involves three fundamental dimensions namely economic, social and environmental.
More specifically, we are interested in contributions that compare and contrast the different institutional designs and mechanisms that might be used to balance and/or resolve conflicts of interest in the use of built heritage and how these designs or mechanisms might be evaluated in terms of their contribution to economic efficiency, conversion of negative externalities into positive ones, innovations social inclusion, subsidiarity, solidarity and distributive fairness.
The issue welcomes original studies that are pre-analytical, analytic and empirical.
