The publication has been developed with the aim of providing a common understanding of terminology and key-concepts of planning and managing Cultural Heritage. Chapter 2 explains the meaning of Cultural Heritage, the importance of the international legal frameworks in managing Cultural Heritage Sites and the relevance of public participation in developing the management plan in order to balance tourism flow and sustainability of the sites.
Chapter 3 focuses in detail on the Cultural Heritage Management and Environmental Management Planning approach applied in the CHERPLAN project, including impact assessment methodologies, the concept of aesthetic aspects in CH sites and the use of regulations, incentives and GIS applications. Sustainable tourism strategies according to the guidelines provided by the main International Organisations is dealt with in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 constitutes the ‘core’ of the publication addressing concrete issues such as impacts, opportunities and threats of tourism in Cultural Heritage sites and presents also two case studies (Venice and Dubrovnik).
In Chapter 6 readers are provided with the aims, processes, methodologies and description of the main methodologies and deliverables of the CHERPLAN project. It gives also an overview of the CHERPLAN pilot sites as regards their historical, geographic and cultural values. Chapter 7 describes the holistic approach adopted by CHERPLAN with particular reference to the pilot sites analysis. The data provided by the various project partners concerning governance, tourism business, the environmental, social and cultural situation as well as the threats and opportunities of the single sites are delivered and discussed in Chapter 8. Finally, Chapter 9 and 10 provide decision makers and CH managers with valuable strategies and solutions for the future as well as useful recommendations.

After fifty-seven years and fifteen editions and reprints in Italy, his classic, ground-breaking work in the field of historical urban studies is now published in English. A masterful, fluent narrative leads the reader through the last two centuries in the history of the Eternal City, capital of the Papal State, then of the united Italy, first under the monarchy and subsequently the republic. Rome’s chaotic growth and often ineffective urban planning, almost invariably overpowered by building speculation, saw but few short interludes of sound administration: Napoleon’s reign, Pianciani’s and Nathan’s stints as mayors, the first years of left-wing rule (1976–81). Then came the alarming and still relevant developments of the late decades of the twentieth century, when urban planning seems to have been utterly defeated. Insolera points out in desolate accusation that any “radical change becomes impossible when ideology has been renounced as a provider of aims and instruments. And I must remind those who maintain that planning is unnecessary that it is so only for the ruling class, but not for the others.” Despite the general pessimistic tone, the book ends by indicating Culture and Art as the key elements from which future Rome may eventually draw new reinvigorating life and meaning. Multi-ethnicity should be one pillar (600,000 immigrants from all over the world, a source of fresh energy from the social, cultural and economic standpoints, live in a city that was essentially cosmopolitan throughout its history). The other pillar should be the enhancement of an unequalled archaeological heritage—still unknown and buried for a large part—with the ancient Appian Way as its spine and the Fora all the way to the the Capitoline Hill as its urban appendage.
