It protects objects with historical, scientific and cultural value. This law was updated in the Law No. 11/2010 on Cagar Budaya. However, as government’s concerns only focus on protecting monuments, scholars, heritage organisations and local communities started to question the government’s vision on heritage conservation. In 2003, the Badan Pelestarian Pusaka Indonesia (BPPI) or Indonesian Heritage Trust, an umbrella organisation of heritage organisations published the “Indonesia Charter for Heritage Conservation”. Not only great architecture or monuments, but also the heritage of the community or “folk heritage” is a legacy that needs to be conserved. Local practices should expect to be appreciated as much as the authenticity of fabric and form of built heritage. Even so, there is still no satisfactory method of heritage conservation in Indonesia. The numbers of listed heritage items in urban area increases, but not many of them are well maintained. As decentralisation policy takes place, cultural heritage is also an issue in the management of built environment of Indonesian cities. In 2008, heritage organisations introduced an idea of heritage city (kota pusaka) management. The idea was adopted and developed in 2012 in a programme called Heritage City Management and Conservation Programme (P3KP) ‐ a collaborative programme between BPPI and the Spatial Planning Agency, from the Ministry of Public Work. This paper focuses on how heritage organisations and the government develop their conservation approach about heritage city. My observations are grounded on projects and issues related to the Heritage City Programme. Through observation of the development of Kota Pusaka, this paper intends to show how heritage organisations create a discussion arena on the value of heritage in urban development. It intends to ask what a heritage city is by discussing international norms of cultural heritage and local practices.

The Genesis of Kota Pusaka Heritage conservation is endorsed by Law No. 11/2010 on Cagar Budaya (Cultural Heritage). The law is a revised version of the Law No. 5/1992 on Benda Cagar Budaya (Cultural Property). The first legislation about the protection of cultural heritage was Monumenten Ordonnantie introduced in Conference draft. Please consult the author when citing. 4 1931 by the Dutch Government. These legislations share a similar trait: they exist to protect all objects of over fifty years old. According to the law No. 11/2010, cultural heritage includes objects, buildings, structures, sites and areas (“Benda Cagar Budaya, Bangunan Cagar Budaya, Struktur Cagar Budaya, Situs Cagar Budaya dan Kawasan Cagar Budaya”) and also cultural landscape (lansekap budaya) from various levels of significance. Local government is encouraged to register their heritage. The number of categories and the approach was modified as the previous Law only considered objects and buildings with cultural and historical value as cultural heritage. Besides that, the implementation of the old law was centralized in the hand of the Ministry of Education and Culture. Each provinces and cities/regencies also have their agency. The legislation shows little guidance on how the protection and development should
