About us….
We aim to promote the interests of Europe’s historic cities through international cooperation between heritage organisations and historic towns - sharing experience and good practice and promoting the sustainable management of historic areas. We have members in 30 European countries and through our membership arrangements represent over 1000 historic towns and cities.
HerO Project  HerO - “Heritage as Opportunity” was an
Urbact II project looking at a methodology for a more integrated approach to the
management of historic towns.In particular it showed how historic towns can
benefit from EU structural funds.
The project partners
worked closely with Heritage Europe in the development and production of
the final documents.The 'Road to Success' reports now published provide details
about the project (the HerO Brochure). Policy recommendations are aimed at the
Mayors and decision makers of Europe's historic cities. The Guidebook shows how
to deliver a more integrated approach to the sustainable mangement of historic
towns and is aimed at practioners. Flagship projects list succesful projects
that have attracted significant funding form the European Structural Funds and
the Good Practice compilation sets out a wide range of case studies from the
partner cities. Lastly the Strategy Paper aims to influence future EU policy
presenting the case for more priority to be given to realising the untapped
potential of cultural heritage in the period 2014 -2020. Download your
