Escuela de Verano 2015: Gestión del Patrimonio Cultural Urbano en el Santiago del Siglo XXI (Chile)

Este curso busca constituirse en un espacio de reflexión, discusión y elaboración de propuestas en torno al patrimonio cultural urbano de Santiago. Se analizarán las políticas e instrumentos existentes, con el fin de generar propuestas estratégicas que favorezcan la gestión y protección del patrimonio, considerando su potencial para el desarrollo local y el contexto de transformaciones de escala metropolitana.

"Colectivo Rescata es una instancia de trabajo interdisciplinario en pro de la conservación y difusión del patrimonio cultural de Chile. Comprendemos el patrimonio, desde lo intangible, como un instrumento de desarrollo social y, desde lo tangible, como una forma de mejorar la calidad ambiental de los paisajes, tanto urbanos como rurales. En estos momentos colaboramos en la generación de instancias de desarrollo sostenible para el patrimonio urbano del sector sur poniente de la comuna de Santiago y San Bernardo."
