Abstract(s)
We propose here to examine the processes of metropolisation and how it is influencing the concepts of city and
the consequent concept of urban heritage. The practices of Western Cities define what we mean by urban
heritage today. Both the question of spatiality, as well as the city's relationship with the surrounding territory
and its specificity compared to the countryside were important for the emergence of urban institutions and
architectural, politics, religious, cultural, military and housing shapes that composed them. The urban
organization itself sets the historical epochs of the city, since the ruins of classical antiquity until the industrial
revolution and modern urbanism, including the medieval times. The whole urban web is often seen as a feature
of its own, which defines a cultural identity. Therefore, many cities, due to their history and "urban identity"
were classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Sites, as is the case of the city of Porto and Guimarães, right next
to us.
