All of these properties have been identified as being of outstanding universal value to the international community, and it is the responsibility of the international community to cooperate in their protection. This paper is prepared to inform Turkish architectural community about the International Conference: World Heritage and Contemporary Architecture-Managing the Historic Environment and to emphasize the protection and management of the historic urban landscapes once more.
