Event Description : TALK "Role of Communities in Sustainable Development of Historic Cities"
Heritage and Democracy: IIC-ICOMOS Public Outreach Discussion

Ahmedabad just got inscribed as the first World Heritage City of India. While the celebrations in the city are still going on, many questions are waiting to be answered; What part of the history of the city is valued by the world? How can that be separated from the life that goes on? Will the city freeze? Is no development possible? Will the development be limited to catering tourism? Will development mean beautification and creating false historic facades? What about people who live there? What about the poverty ridden areas? Will participation be relegated to mere consensus building, rather than active involvement of inhabitants? This event will focus on reflecting over these questions through examples of other cities, instances and initiatives.
