Guide to the historic urban landscape of Seville : informative document

Abstract

With the publication of this informative document of the Guide of the Urban Historical Landscape of Seville (hereinafter GPHUS), the aim is to increase the knowledge of this instrument, developed by the IAPH between 2008 and 2015 to guide the changes in the city from the perspective of a evolution and growth compatible with the maintenance of its natural and cultural values. At the same time, a methodology of analysis of an urban historical landscape has been tried from the perspective of cultural administration, understanding that a city like Seville, with an extraordinary historical and cultural heritage, can be conceived as a complex cultural asset.

For its preparation, the IAPH has started from the basis of previous experiences, the need to integrate the interests of a wide range of agents, as well as the contribution of numerous professionals with expert knowledge in landscape and cultural heritage from different profiles disciplines.

The document is available in Spanish and English and includes in both versions the two volumes of the Guía del Paisaje Histórico Urbano de Sevilla in CD format.
