Transmissions, appropriations et mises en valeur du patrimoine de l'Autre : le cas de la Neustadt, Strasbourg

Strasbourg's Neustadt district exemplifies the duality of urban modernization and heritage preservation, reflecting both its modern planning origins (1880) and its UNESCO World Heritage status (2017). This study reveals how the district's identity oscillates between these two narratives, shaped by historical processes and local resident practices. By focusing on the scale of individual apartment buildings, the research uncovers heterogeneous patrimonial practices that coexist and interact within the neighborhood. It also deconstructs the factors leading to Neustadt's reclassification as heritage, highlighting the role of residents in this transformation. The findings underscore the dynamic interplay between global recognition (UNESCO) and local appropriation, challenging static notions of heritage preservation.
