    Learning from disabled people about qualities and obstacles in historic cities. The case of Liège.

    The initiative promotes inclusivity in historic European city centres, which are often not accessible to people with disabilities. It emphasizes the challenges faced by individuals with different abilities, highlighting their exclusion from the cultural and historical richness of these areas. By focusing on Liège as a case study, the initiative aims to improve understanding of disabled individuals’ interactions with historic environments. Collaborating with ‘user/experts’ who offer unique perspectives on navigating such spaces, the goal is to identify and overcome barriers to inclusivity, enriching the historic urban experience for everyone.

    Cultural heritage essentials

    In this publication for policy makers, urban practitioners and cultural heritage lovers, Eurocities gathered insights, lessons and experiences from the ROCK project. From 2017 to 2020, ROCK demonstrated how, in European cities, cultural and historic city centres can become laboratories for testing new models of urban regeneration, sustainable development and economic and social growth, and thus lead the urban transition. You will discover how cities have designed new approaches to bridge the gap between conservation and preservation of cultural heritage and contemporary urban issues. From sustainable adaptive reuse of cultural

    Biodeterioration of majolica glazed tiles by the fungus Devriesia imbrexigena

    The article investigates the fungal bioreceptivity and biodeterioration of historical glazed tiles, focusing on the influence of ageing on these processes. Two sets of tile models, pristine and artificially aged, were subjected to a 12-month laboratory colonization experiment with fungal inoculation. The study revealed the formation of biogenic calcium oxalate compounds as a result of fungal biodeterioration, with no correlation found between bioreceptivity and ageing degree. The research employed digital image analysis to quantify fungal growth on the glazed tiles, showing slow colonization by Devriesia imbrexigena over the 12-month period.
