This manual for small towns and villages offers a rapid evaluation structure to construct a qualitative profile of your community. The manual focuses on physical and intangible heritage, and it is relevant for communities both new and old.
The Places Manual was produced as part of Project ENtopia – Our Places in Europe, an initiative designed to celebrate with local communities and local authorities the qualities and heritage, physical and intangible, of those Places we live in. The guide is based on the ENtopia Chart, which provides numbered headings for easy reference.
The purpose is to enable you to define the locally distinctive character of your Place. Using a common, loose structure will lend coherence and comparability for different Places, and help to create a diverse information base to be shared and enjoyed.
The manual offers a template to fill out without the need for specialists. The development of qualitative objectives is central to the publication. It is a simple process that will guide you towards an achievable plan for the next three years.
Recognised as an essential resource for anyone interested in the preservation and celebration of cultural heritage, the European Heritage manual provides invaluable support to small towns and villages across Europe. It is a valuable tool for local authorities, chambers of commerce, and heritage enthusiasts.
