2024 – Cordoba, Spain

About

#OWHCCordoba2024

From September 24 to 27, 2024, the city of Cordoba, Spain, hosted the 17th World Congress of the OWHC, on the theme of “Habitability of Historic Centers”, bringing together delegations from member cities around the world. The event served to strengthen ties between World Heritage cities and move towards a more sustainable future for heritage preservation.

The Symposium brought us a significant operational step forward, and the election of a strong and united Board of Directors will ensure that for the next two years we have the support we need to successfully design the New Urban Project that the organization wishes to adopt. We look forward to the 18th World Congress in Marrakech, Morocco.

Our warmest gratitude goes to José María Bellido Roche, Mayor of Cordoba, and his team for their impeccable organization of the event, and to all the delegations for their participation.
