Preservation in Historic Areas of Spain: Panorama of a Shifting Paradigm
SANTIAGO RODRÍGUEZ-GIMENO
Spain reached the first years of the XIX century having assembled a very rich multicultural heritage. From then on to today, that unique heritage underwent the impact of ravages of wars, reiterated disentailment laws and side effects of both economic development and financial crises. This is a state of the art account of the shifting paradigm informing actions to preserve, enhance, increase, restore and revitalize the cultural heritage of Spain, coupled with large area, territorial and landscape actions, society reading, typology studies, etc, portraying both the mutual dependencies of those approaches and their synergies, and illustrated with examples of World Heritage cities and other historic areas.
