Conservation of the world heritage site component «Neva river with banks»

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (82) June, 2023

One of the major urban development sites in the UNESCO list - "The Historic Center of St. Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments" - is part of a grandiose agglomeration. Over the years of consistent development of the city and its environs, a kind of genetic code of St. Petersburg has emerged, including both tangible and intangible components. In the international theory and practice of heritage conservation, these components are called attributes of value. Landscape objects are of particular interest among the components of the World Heritage site under consideration. One of such objects is the "Neva River with banks". The article gives an assessment of the criteria for classifying this object as a World Heritage Site; analyzes the existing system of security zoning and the system of conservation of cultural heritage sites located in the territory; proposals are formulated for further conservation and adaptation of the territory.
