  • Enhancing Local Development Through Interface of Culture, Heritage And
    Enhancing local development through interface of culture, heritage and economy By Imran Basha Culture is primarily associated with the arts, ideas, customs, social behaviour and other human intellectual interactions in an area. Culture and heritage play significant roles in enhancing local livelihood and economy, hence different initiatives are being undertaken by respective cities or areas in the promotion of the local economy through culture and heritage conservation. With rapid urbanization, cities are transforming into engines of growth. This, in turn, has implications on local urban culture and traditions. Cultural and heritage conservation is being side-lined and is struggling to compete with the pace of urban concretisation or mass production tools and technologies. The session on ‘Development, Economy, Livelihood and Culture’ during the Urban Symposium on ‘Harmonizing Heritage and Innovation in Cities’ hosted by UN-Habitat in partnership with GIZ on 19th - 20th December 2019 in Jaipur, examines how culture and heritage can be leveraged for local economic development.
