‘A new lease of life for avant-garde buildings from Russia and Ukraine’ follows the work of the Save Urban Heritage project funded under the CIUDAD programme.

The 1.30-minute video spotlights the activities of the project, which helps Moscow and Kyiv preserve their architectural heritage, by giving a new lease of life to neglected avant-garde buildings.

The photo story is based on a feature article published by the Info Centre last year.

It was put together using photos taken for the Info Centre, illustrating the activities of the project, with music and background information. The photos are also available in a special Photo gallery on the EU Neighbourhood Info Centre website. 

The video is the latest in a series of resources illustrating EU support for culture in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood, released as culture ministers meet in Tbilisi for the first Eastern Partnership Ministerial Conference on Culture today. Other material includes a press pack and an interview with the team leader of the Eastern Partnership Culture programme. (EU Neighbourhood Info)

New publication "Heritage, a driver of development: Rising to the challenge"

ICOMOS is pleased to announce the release of the publication resulting from the International Scientific Symposium held on the occasion of the 17th ICOMOS General Assembly organized by ICOMOS France in Paris in 2011.

This, fully bilingual, printed volume provides a summary of the issues discussed during the Scientific Symposium “Heritage, driver of development” held at UNESCO, and follows on from the electronic Symposium Proceedings published in 2012 on the ICOMOS and ICOMOS France websites, which are also included as CD-ROM in the new printed publication.

This publication is intended as a tool in approaching the issue of heritage acting as a driver of development, through the four sub-themes chosen for the International Symposium: heritage and regional development, development and the return to the art of building, tourism and development, the economics of development.

It identifies the key questions raised by the development issue in all its aspects in the heritage context, and suggests the means needed to move forward. This is the meaning of the title “Rising to the challenge”. It also highlights “The Paris Declaration, on heritage as a driver of development”, doctrinal text voted on the occasion of the 17th General Assembly.

The publication of this volume was made possible thanks to the support of the l’Institut national du patrimoine.

We thank you for helping us in spreading the news of this new publication among your colleagues and partner organisations, so that the reflection on this inexhaustible theme can continue to be enriched.
