Summary
A new cartographic approach reveals the dynamic transformation of Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, before and after its 2003 UNESCO World Heritage designation. The study identifies key patterns such as asymmetric topography, evolving urban fabric, and discontinuous growth in neighborhoods, while also questioning the limits of the cultural landscape and its potential as a tourist route. By layering information across different scales, researchers propose renewed interpretations that challenge conventional understandings of heritage assessment and territorial development.
