Urban Resilience and Heritage Management

Cities, infrastructures, and territories are undergoing transformations driven by environmental, technological, and social shifts. These dynamics call for new tools and methodologies aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, cultural and natural heritage-both tangible and intangible-emerges as a key resource for resilience, reinforcing social cohesion and adaptive capacities in urban and rural areas. This Special Issue brings together original research and review articles that examine the role of heritage in building more resilient cities, territories, and landscapes. Contributions address diverse contexts-from small and medium-sized cities to metropolitan areas-highlighting hybrid urban legacies and the need for long-term resilience strategies.
