It is well known that cities are constantly changing. As such, cities are composed of addedhistoric layers that, over time, transform into heritage which merits conservation. Withinthe conservation process, heritage constitutes an inherent dynamic and transformativeurban element. However, fragmented heritage structures targeted by urban strategies,often lose the opportunity to offer urban planning a sustainable source for cultural valuesas these pose difficulties for practitioners and users to agree on what is to be protected.To address this challenge, CURBATHERI proposes an approach in which historicaltransformation is a value which we need to sustain. In this way, the needs for change andnew cultural imprints in the city are addressed through its own deep historic continuity. Toachieve this, CURBATHERI's main objective is to develop a management toolbox thatconsiders historical urban transformation as a source of heritage values that will enabledecision makers to better understand the deep history of the place. This toolkit is basedon cross-cutting research for comparable analysis in Norway, UK, Italy and Spain thatintegrates conceptual solutions defined by participatory approaches, online and offline,through innovative digital heritage modelling.The toolbox is expected to facilitate the conceptualization of heritage values amongstakeholders for the prioritization of best planning solutions. Both the theoretical andpractical contributions of the project aim to stimulate reflection on the choices on how touse urban heritage affected by the historical transformation in urban planning. All in all,using these choices as a tool for enabling dialogue will stimulate reflection on how to makeroom for different ways of implementing time and temporality in future cities.
