Lyon, Historic City, Projet City - Historic Site of Lyon, UNESCO World Heritage

In a city built on two thousand years of history, how is it possible to reconcile the safeguarding of heritage with urban development? This is the issue facing the City of Lyon in the twenty-first century, and this is what gave rise to the creation of a Management Plan for the historic site, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998. The pages of this volume tell the story of the capital of Gaul and discuss the paths taken in view of preserving the heritage of post centuries.
They confirm that for our historic cities, heritage is a resource of the future.
