Cultural Heritage is our legacy of physical artefacts and natural and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from the past. We have been living with and maintained them in the present, so as to pass them on to future generations. This course will introduce the basic concepts of heritage, the current assessment and management system in Hong Kong and explore how heritage interweaves in our daily life through case studies of art and creative industries-led landscape, water, battlefield and living heritage regeneration projects.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
– Acknowledge the basic categories of heritages;
– Acknowledge the heritage assessment method in Hong Kong;
– Recognize how heritage influences our current living and the importance of managing heritage for sustainability through selected heritage case studies.
– Recognize the potential impacts to communities and potential risks in cultural tourism development
