The value of UK’s UNESCO sites

Britain’s World Heritage UNESCO-designated sites cover 14% of the UK’s land area.

A study described here will pioneer new methodologies to understand their value not just in economic terms, but the wider value of local partnerships and collaboration. It should help communities defend the four World Heritage Sites in London by demonstrating their outstanding universal value for use in considering planning applications and other potential causes of harm.

A.R.S Progetti, leading the study, has worked across governance, cultural heritage, education, urban planning, and environmental management.
