From June to November 2022, WHITRAP Shanghai will organize a series of 6 monthly online World Heritage Dialogues, co-organized with the College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP) Tongji University (Shanghai, China) to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was adopted on 16th November 1972 by the General Conference of UNESCO. The second dialogue will be held between 14.00-16:00 Beijing time (6:00-8:00 UTC) on July 27, 2022. The theme of the second dialogue is Rural Heritage, which is primarily based on the annual meeting of HeritAP on Conserving the Hearts of Asia: Rural Heritage in 2021, organized by WHITRAP Shanghai. As the outcome of the HeritAP meeting showed, there was no specific reference to rural heritage as a category in the World Heritage Convention, but its flexible framework and the knowledge developed over the last 50 years have placed some emphasis on rural heritage. Themes like cultural landscapes, and several villages already on the list have captured the spirit of rural heritage within the domain of the convention. However, rural being still over 50% of the world’s land use, focus on diversifying the concept of heritage, rural heritage may require more attention in the next 50 years. Particularly considering its contribution to resilience and environmental protection. However, conserving rural heritage while seeking sustainable economies is the key challenge that has been put forward, especially after the pandemic. Therefore, in this dialog main focus will be the innovative technology and revitalization of tourism. With three cases: Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui – Xidi and Hongcun in China, Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama in Japan, and Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras in Philippines, the discussion aims to seek the way to improve the rural economy, which in turn will ensure sustainable rural heritage and the rural livelihood. The detailed agenda and list of participants are provided as below. We look forward to your participation and will appreciate your efforts to distribute this announcement through your network to a wider audience.
