Abstract

This report summarises the findings of the JPI Heritage Plus PICH Project’s investiga¬tion of the impact of the reform of urban planning on the histor¬ic built environment. The project team conducted twelve in-depth case studies in Italy, the Neth¬erlands, Norway and the UK covering three settings: the built heritage of historic urban cores, former industrial areas and the urban landscape.
