Ali Mozaffari (ed.). World Heritage in Iran. Perspectives on Pasargadae

A recent analysis reveals the multifaceted impacts of UNESCO World Heritage inscription on Pasargadae, a site inscribed in 2004. The study examines how Iran's proactive heritage conservation policies, exemplified by the 2018 addition of the 'Paysage archéologique sassanide du Fars' to the UNESCO list, influence local cultural landscapes and preservation efforts. By focusing on Pasargadae, this work offers a nuanced perspective on the consequences of such patrimonialization, blending architectural expertise with scholarly insights. The research approach combines historical analysis with contemporary assessments of heritage management, providing a comprehensive view of the challenges and benefits faced by sites under UNESCO protection.
