Overview
Careers
In cities around the world, built heritage is under pressure from either over- or under-development. Meanwhile, we may observe that heritage plays an increasingly important role in the present-day city. It reflects an image of the city, reveals stories about its past and gives character and human scale to the city. If managed properly, heritage can effectively contribute to urban quality and serve as a vital asset for future development.
Erasmus University Rotterdam's Urban Heritage Strategies course is designed around the case study of the city of Nijmegen, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Among the different challenges this heritage city is facing, four main challenges have been selected in close collaboration with the Nijmegen municipality. Each of the selected challenges is connected to a particular neighbourhood in the historic city centre, and to the four core concepts of the Urban Heritage Strategies curriculum: economics, social aspects, environment and culture.
