Goal

The vast Southeast Asia region faces formidable challenges to the conservation of its urban cultural heritage from population growth, intensifying tourism, economic and infrastructure development, and lack of institutional or legal frameworks to alleviate destruction of historic urban fabric.

This project seeks to improve urban conservation practice in the region by offering a series of short, intensive, and practical courses for Malaysian urban planners and architects that emphasize internationally recognized urban conservation planning methodologies.
