Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) is afairly new term that has gained significance in UNESCO debates, and, accordingly, in hundreds of urban sites related to World Heritage Protection, although its conceptual analysisis still missing.
In my research,I will carry out a conceptual analysis of HUL: 1) to analyse its prehistory (1976-2005), which is part of the development of the World Heritage notion regarding the complex relationship between tangible and intangible heritage;
2) to determine the main conceptual differences between the historic urban area of the1970s/1980 sand the historic urban landscape of the 2000s, both describing the same urban territory; 3) to place these differences in the post-turn development of the disciplines that are meant to describe urbanc entres (i.e. urban history, urban and cultural geography, urban sociology,urban studies). 4) Since there are only two European examples of urban World Heritage sites that were defined not as urban areas,but as urban landscapes before 2005 (Budapest in 1987 and Paris in 1991), the results of the conceptual analysis of HUL will be evaluated by the changing representation of these two city centres perceived as World Heritagesites.
