About the course
The focus of this course is cultural heritage as a driver for sustainable growth. The course covers the role of cultural heritage in specific systems-wide cultural districts, regional fields of creative power, as well as the economic impact of conservation and adaptive reuse of the built cultural heritage. The course also highlights and problematises issues such as conservation - utility - development, as well as models for how cultural heritage can strengthen the social economy. Special emphasis will be put on the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage.
