• Resumen

  • The approach of Historic Urban Landscape (UNESCO, 2011) in urban and management processes aims at integrating conservation and urban development. Starting from these considerations, we deal with the issue of preservation of the twentieth century urban contexts, proposing the case study of Pescara city (Italy). A recognition of the built cultural heritage is the prerequisite to address the actual perspectives and challenges for a proper and balanced urban heritage management. The paper documents the work of analysis and delimitation of historical areas related to the twentieth century residential neighborhoods, as historical-homogeneus urban contexts to be preserved and improved in the frame of current urban policies. In order to prevent further loss and highlight values, identity and critical issues that become evident in the historical context, we propose to support urban sustainable planning through periodic monitoring and evaluation tools of the economic, cultural and social effects induced by the enhancement of historical heritage.
