In the context of rapid cultural and economic globalisation, over half of the
World’s population now live in urban areas. Through rural migration, new
economic opportunities and enhanced global mobilities, cities and towns have
expanded dramatically resulting in challenges to their character and identity.
‘Inheriting the City’ invites academics, policy makers and practitioners to
consider the ways that heritage is being protected, managed and mobilised in
rapidly changing and pressurised urban contexts. This multidisciplinary event
will explore the type of heritage, both tangible and intangible, that cities and
towns will pass to future generations, and the processes through which the
heritage of cities is being re-made, re-presented and re-used. 
The conference will be held in the magnificent Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall,
Taipei City, Taiwan, and will bring together academics, policy makers and
practitioners from across the globe for a stimulating programme of
presentations, study visits, discussions and networking. We are pleased to
announce that the conference will be opened by keynote speakers Lai Chee Kien,
Adjunct Associate Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and
Design, and Tim Winter, Research Professor at the Alfred Deakin Institute for
Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Melbourne.
The Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage aims to provide
critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries and we invite papers from all
disciplines and fields including, but not limited to: anthropology,
architecture, archaeology, art history, cultural geography, cultural studies,
design, ethnology and folklore, economics, history, heritage studies, landscape
