Archethics | The Baseline Study and the Network Roadmap

The Baseline Study and the Network Roadmap of ARCHETHICS (written during the activation stage of ARCHETHICS - URBACT Action Planning Network - June - December 2023) aims at guiding partner cities in a depth and productive exchange and learning at Network and local level in the next two project years (2024-2025). 

How “Dissonant” Cultural Heritages can foster Democracy in European cities.

The history of Europe has generated a heritage that sometimes is controversial and complex due to belonging to totalitarian regimes or contentious borders. This heritage has been called “Dissonant”, addressing the problematic link between the physical elements like architecture, neighbourhoods, monuments, and urban public spaces, and the historical and political values those elements represent.

ARCHETHICS Network opens a deep reflection on the Dissonant Heritage present in many European cities: it allows us to experience the complex and diverse history of Europe (focusing in particular on the Twentieth Century) and, through a critical examination of the past, come into the present to promote democratic and solidarity values.
