Cultural heritageCultural heritage enriches the collective memory; this makes the future of Europe human and friendly to its population. It is also the basic asset on which tourism is built. Construction activities and heritage preservation needs will however be in conflict if they are not considered together at the intial planning stage of any development.
The main challenge involves the application of special techniques, materials and processes in order to maintain the rich cultural heritage of the European Union. This is of crucial importance for all stakeholders oriented towards the maintenance and preservation of European cultural identity in the face of ever increasing globalisation. A robust research partnership between the construction industry, institutes and universities is important for heritage protection and its integration into the contemporary life of cities. The need to keep all stakeholders (e.g. authorities, construction professionals, academics, urban planners, sociologists, economists, environmental professionals, tourism operators, marketing professionals, researchers and training specialists etc.) in touch with heritage developments will be maintained within the European Construction Technology Platform. |
