Preface. Places and times of the city and the territory. Namely: the four dimensions of urbanism

It is important to rethink how to work at different levels from the local to regional and to aim not just for short term plans long term results. But how to acknowledge that every aspect of sustainable thinking can bring to the:
- establishment of built “heritage value” and “heritage status”
- foundation of creative theory and practice in preservation, evaluation and re generation of built heritage
- creation of sustainable / creative schemes and master plans
- good practice on re generation and development of sensitive areas and buildings
- adoption of environmental and ecological design on built heritage
