The Sustainability of Urban Heritage Preservation: The Case of Salvador de Bahia

Urban heritage preservation efforts in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, demonstrate mixed sustainability outcomes. The Rehabilitation Plan for the Historic Centre of Salvador has achieved notable physical and spatial improvements but faces challenges in social and economic sustainability. This analysis highlights the need for balanced approaches that integrate conservation with community development to ensure long-term viability. The study employed a comprehensive assessment framework to evaluate the plan's accomplishments across these dimensions, providing insights applicable to other UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
