Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Heritage addresses the challenges and complexities facing urban heritage management in conflict and post-conflict contexts. It aims at contributing to the emerging discourse on the inclusive, resilient, and sustainable recovery of people, heritage, and cities (for example, see Concept Note and Agenda of the fourth edition of the World Reconstruction Conference in 2019, https://www.gfdrr.org/sites/default/files/WRC4%20Concept%20Note.pdf).
Authors are invited to submit original research papers that critically examine a wide range of relevant topics, such as
- People engagement and inclusion;
- Continuity of community values and relationships;
- Communication and awareness-raising campaigns;
- Conventions, resolutions, international policies, preventive measures and strategies;
- Coordination between international, national, and local levels;
- Implications of international support and technical/financial involvement;
- Governance and management systems;
- Training and capacity-building;
- Documentation, dialogue, and interpretation;
- Sensitive and context-driven solutions;
- Planning for recovery, reconstruction, resilience, and sustainable development;
- Reconciliation.
Case studies, particularly from the Middle East and North Africa region, and practical recommendations to improve approaches to heritage management during and after episodes of conflict are welcome.
This Special issue is open for submission on 1st June 2019.
