WHITRAP and City of Ballarat, in conjunction with Tongji University and Federation University Australia, have launched 'THE HUL GUIDEBOOK' at the League of Historical Cities 15th World Conference, in Bad Ischl, Austria.

This new guidebook is a practical guide to UNESCO's Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) and the result of a cooperation agreement between the project partners, signed in December 2015.

It delivers a practical understanding of the HUL approach, along with information regarding its purpose and application. It is structured as a manual, that:

Equips readers with an introductory set of practical and theoretical information, including eight case studies of cities implementing the HUL Approach around the world (Ballarat AUSTRALIA, Shanghai and Suzhou CHINA, Cuenca ECUADOR, Rawalpindi PAKISTAN, Zanzibar TANZANIA, Naples ITALY, Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS);
Brings together a list of experts and resources to assist with implementing the HUL Approach.

local authorities
government officials
