2nd Steering Committee Meeting on the guide "A Social and Human Revitalization of Historical Districts: an integrated and sustainable approach to urban landscape development"

15th June 2007 UNESCO, Room XV (Miollis Building). This working meeting is aiming at allowing experts and decision-makers to validate the scientific content methodology and proposed use of a guide, pedagogical tool for local authorities

This guide is intended to: - raise awareness among decision-makers (local authorities) on their role for sustainable development of historical districts to prevent processes of exclusion, ghettoization or museification; - promote principles of an interdisciplinary approach on urban revitalization that take into account principles of sustainable development and in particular of durability and social justice; - help actors to improve their interventions practices through the presentation of methodological focus, concrete tools, and international references; - clarify the notions concerning urban revitalization tin historical districts in search of a common language taking into account common values in international documents promoted by UNESCO and UN-HABITAT. Training experimental sessions are prepared with AIMF and UN-Habitat in Autumn 2007 and 2008 for a finalization of this tool to be presented at the World Urban Forum IV in Nanjin, October 2008.
