Patrimónios de Coimbra – Univer(c)idade: património e desenvolvimento?

The recent classification of the University of Coimbra's Alta and Sofia as a UNESCO World Heritage Site presents both opportunities and challenges for the region's economic development. This study reveals that while the site's primary function remains education, its potential to drive tourism and cultural growth is significant but contingent on balancing preservation with modern recreational demands. Researchers analyze how differing policies and perceptions influence the identification and utilization of these heritage values, highlighting the need for strategic management to ensure sustainable development without compromising the integrity of Coimbra's rich cultural legacy.
