The Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme became operational in 1992 to show best practice to governments and decision makers and to highlight historic sites could become assets and economic trampolines and not burdens on scare resources. The Programme implements conservation, urban regeneration and park projects in historically significant sites of the Islamic world. It does so over long time-frames, by raising local standards and coupling monument and public open space conservation with environmental and community development, thus engaging in sustainable urban redevelopment projects, which offer a platform for new socio-economic uses tied to education, health, leisure facilities, and amenities and services that have significant educational importance for practitioners and decision-makers.
Through this integrated approach, the Programme seeks to demonstrate that strengthening cultural identity can go hand in hand with socio-economic progress. This Special Collection on Archnet features all of the projects and publications of the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme.
