The fastest growing cities are in the Global South. Both tangible and intangible heritage assets are at risk in cities globally, as they're often the first casualties of urban transformation projects, particularly in coastal cities where land values are high. Consequently, there's an urgent need for academic and technical expertise to address the issues associated with urban development and heritage management in a more integrated manner, benefitting both society and planet.
This multi-disciplinary programme integrates architecture, urban planning, urban policy and practice, history, sustainability and social sciences, and considers the impact of globalisation and the climate crisis. You'll explore the fundamentals of global urbanisation and heritage, and examine patterns of heritage development, conservation, policy and practice. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, you'll come to understand the role, influence and impact of historic and contemporary heritage (and heritage at risk) on urban trajectories.
Heritage is a core research pillar of the University of Liverpool, and the Liverpool School of Architecture is at the forefront of research in architecture, planning and heritage. The International Urbanism and Coastal Heritage Lab (UCH Lab), Architecture Heritage and Urbanism of West Africa Research Centre, The Heritage Institute and other research centres affiliated to the School contribute to this research field in UK, European contexts and further afield. Collectively, their contributions have produced documents and designs, technological and policy initiatives.
