The site was recognized and inscribed as a Cultural Landscape during the 36th session of the World Heritage Council on July 1, 2012, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The work now presented has been developed in a long process of discussion and agreement among technicians and managers of the elements integrating the site listed as World Heritage within the Management Committee for the Landscape of Rio de Janeiro, created by IPHAN‟s Directive 464, dated December 29, 2011, including representatives from all three administrative authorities involved – city, state and federal –, in the fields of culture, environment, urban planning and landscape architecture, as well as managers in specific areas of the site, such as the Botanical Gardens, the Tijuca National Park and the fortresses located within military areas. The work comes in response to the requirement presented at the moment of nomination for structuring an integrated management plan of the listed area to be evaluated by the World Heritage Committee in 2014. Because of the site‟s unique characteristic as a cultural landscape within a complex urban area, such as the city of Rio de Janeiro with more than 11 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, incorporating several elements associated to very distinct management models in the hands of also very distinct institutions belonging to all three spheres of the Brazilian executive branch (municipal, state and national), the organization of this Management Plan had to seek an original management pact and model. As cultural landscapes in urban areas cannot be conceived as detached monuments, its management must be integrated to the city as a whole, bringing benefits to the collectivity. Likewise, the management of its integrity and exceptionality as expressed in the values identified in the site cannot follow the traditional standards for the management of architectural monuments, or even of cultural landscapes associated to traditional populations, rural areas or parks and planned areas. The management of a cultural landscape in an urban area requires the creation of a pact and the establishment of a forum, such as the Landscape Management Committee, capable of giving voice to the different agents and finding agreed solutions for action within the site. It also requires the incorporation of a discussion on the landscape‟s values and how to maintain them as an instrument for sustainable development and for the exercise of citizenship in its relation with the dynamics of a living megalopolis in permanent construction. 9 SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN - RIO DE JANEIRO: CARIOCA LANDSCAPES BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SEA This plan herein presented by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute has been jointly developed with different civil society agents in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. Furthermore it is intended to be a step towards the construction of more democratic spaces for the practice of World Heritage-based sustainable development, contributing to a transformation in the notion of heritage, more suitable to the challenges faced in these first decades of the 21st century. 10 SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN - RIO DE JANEIRO: CARIOCA LANDSCAPES BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SEA 1. CONCEPT AND GOALS The Management Plan for the World Heritage Site of Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea will guide the actions performed within the area established as a world heritage site and recognized by UNESCO, comprising all of its elements and its buffer zone. The Plan is based upon strategies for cultural and environmental sustainability of the site‟s global landscape, promoting: a heightened awareness, among society, of the importance of valuing, conserving and preserving this heritage as a reference of the culture and memory derived from the Carioca, the Fluminense and Brazilian identity; an improvement of instruments of management and planning for the elements in the Site; the application of the aforesaid instruments towards an integrated management of the Site, involving the three spheres of government (municipal, state and federal), private partners and civil society; an integrated perspective of heritage, incorporating its different dimentions, natural and cultural, tangible and intangible, promoting global heritage management through its cultural landscape. Measures for shared management are structured around four dimensions: institutional, normative, technical- operational and economical-financial. After defining the territorial unit that includes all the elements of the Site, the shared management structure is composed by a Management Commission, an Executive Secretariat and an Advisory Board. In the normative and technical-operational dimensions, shared management will establish new norms for the Site‟s protection and governance, making them compatible with the existing legislation. In the economic-financial dimension, a Fund for the Conservation of the Rio World Heritage Site will be created. Coordination will be achieved through the Federal agencies of cultural and environmental heritage, namely the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), with the collaboration of the Ministry of Environment through
