Description
Summary:This article focuses on the World Heritage city and the urban development issues that are related to it through one example : the city of Sao Luis (Maranhao), in Brazil. We will first reflect on the patrimonialization process, launched by the inclusion of the city into the World Heritage Unesco program, and then on the commodification process of celebrations, which is inherent to World Heritage cities. The patrimonial value of Sao Luis historical center legitimates new urban policies, which we will analyze thoroughl : renovation, rehabilitation and promotion programs, urban development strategies such as the promotion of leisure and culture consumption in the heart of the historical center and the creation of new structures to improve the management of tourism.
