Summary
Urban heritage preservation, often driven by institutions or local actors, reshapes social dynamics within historic districts. This study reveals that patrimonialization processes in the Medina of Tunis diversify modes of urban appropriation, challenging traditional typologies. It demonstrates how private actors' involvement in public-led patrimonialization initiatives creates a complex interplay, influencing both the management of historic centers and residents' rights to the city. The research employs a unique methodological approach to analyze these dynamics, offering new perspectives on power relations, urban sustainability, and the evolving nature of habitation in heritage sites.
