Africa

Algeria's legal framework for heritage protection, established post-independence (1962), safeguards seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites of exceptional value. The study highlights the significant impact of Belgian colonization on modern architecture and urban planning in Africa, exemplified by structures like Matadi Railway Station and worker camps in Lubumbashi. It also notes the growing institutional recognition of modern heritage, as seen with Docomomo Angola's 2014 constitution. Additionally, it underscores Asmara's unique position as a testbed for modernist urban design in an African context, showcasing its rich built heritage.
