dc.description.abstract | Purpose – Cuenca, a World Heritage City, faces urban expansion as residents move to the outskirts, leaving the
historic center abandoned and deteriorating. The challenge now is to relocate these spaces into sustainable and
cohesive nodes. This research aims to identify cultural facility oversupply in the city center and understand the
required usage for heritage buildings to promote a habitable, sustainable and cohesive historic center.
Design/methodology/approach – The study consisted of two phases. Firstly, a georeferenced spatial
analysis and monthly usage frequency of each facility is proposed. Secondly, interviews explored the criteria for
designating heritage buildings as cultural facilities. Additionally, a survey assessed urban habitability in three
historic center parishes, measuring aspects like coverage, satisfaction and security from residents’ perspectives.
Findings –The underutilization of cultural facilities demonstrates both inefficient heritage management and a
lack of resident interest in cultural activities and neighborhood decision-making. Thus, ensuring collective
ownership of heritage assets becomes crucial. Additionally, the municipality’s approach to heritage must be
reconsidered. While implementing a cultural program may seem faster and cheaper, the long-term cost-benefit
of maintaining a cohesive historical center outweighs that of a dispersed city.
Originality/value – This paper calls for a fundamental reimagining of the concept of built heritage, emphasizing
the need for a more inclusive and integrated approach that goes beyond museum and tourism-driven strategies.
This perspective recognizes the importance of social, cultural and environmental sustainability in revitalizing the
historic center, considering the broader context of the city and its diverse inhabitants. | es |
