Literature Review of Mega-Events Addressing Cultural Heritage Issues Ponzini D., Jones Z.M., Bianchini F., Tommarchi E., Georgi J., Dova E., Sivitanidou A., Purchla J., Sanetra-Szeliga J., Knaś P., Dąbrowski A., Kozioł A. (2019).

The research explores for the first time the relationships between the planning and implementation of mega-events and cultural heritage in European cities. The literature review provides background concepts and a sound critical framework for the analyses of the research and its case studies by carrying out an extensive trawl of the existing literature, identifying and teasing out key messages emerging from both academic sources and high-level policy documents. Exploring these relations is important because one can find abundant literature and longstanding debates both on mega-events and heritage topics. Yet there is also a clear gap in research about the relationship between the two. The HOMEE literature review not only describes these gaps but also explains the reasons why it is important to address them.

National Case Studies: Report Briefs 

Ponzini D., Jones Z.M., Di Vita S., Bianchini F., Tommarchi E., Georgi J., Dova E., Sivitanidou A., Purchla J., Sanetra- Szeliga J., Knaś P., Dąbrowski A., Kozioł A. (2019). 

This report of the five national case studies (Milan 2015, Genoa 2004, Hull 2017, Pafos  2017, Wrocław 2016) derives from the first set of actions of the HOMEE project. It provides new information on recent events and highlights important issues pertaining to cultural heritage. The information collected also provides valuable insights for academics and the APs connected to these events to show the far-reaching impacts and potential of their events in historic contexts and for their legacies. The aim of the National Case Studies Report Briefs is to present a broad overview of each case as well as highlight the key themes and findings.

Mega-Events and Heritage: The experience of Five European Cities 

Edited by Davide Ponzini, Franco Bianchini, Julia Georgi-Nerantzia Tzortzi and Joanna Sanetra-Szeliga, 2020. Reviewed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Joh. Wiesand, Dr. Marco Bianconi. ISBN 978-83-66419-05-6

In the past, many cities used mega-events as a strategy to boost development. The creation of new facilities and infrastructures for mega-events typically targeted areas of expansion outside of historic city fabric. Today, on the contrary, mega-event organizers are increasingly opting more for the re-use of existing facilities and areas. This paradigm shift represents both a potential opportunity and threat for heritage-rich cities in Europe. This book explores the relationships between the planning and implementation of mega-events and cultural heritage through the in-depth study of five cases: Genoa 2004 European Capital of Culture, Milan Expo 2015, Wrocław 2016 European Capital of Culture, Hull 2017 UK City of Culture, Pafos 2017 European Capital of Culture. The book draws on these case studies in order to spark further research and policy debate regarding the emerging opportunities and threats for context-specific policies and projects, for long-term urban development, for cooperation among actors and capacity building at different levels, for the multiple social and cultural identities that help heritage and cities to flourish.

Urban Heritage and Mega-Events: The Case of Matera-Basilicata 2019 European Capital of Cultu
re 

Jones Z. M., Ponzini D., Tommarchi E., D’Armento S. (2021)

This HOMEE publication investigates the nexus between mega-events and heritage by observing the case of the Matera-Basilicata 2019 European Capital of Culture before and during the celebration.

As the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe, Matera represents in many ways a heritage-rich city and shows the complexity of this heritage/event relationship. The case of the Matera-Basilicata 2019 ECoC clearly demonstrates the significant impact that events like the ECoC can have on cities, even before carrying out the yearlong program – as occurred in Matera after it won the bid in 2014. While the mega-event planning and celebration undeniably contributed to improvements (in terms of accessibility, public spaces, etc.), the impressive heritage of the city was not widely integrated with the ECoC interventions and nonetheless absorbed most of the visitors’ attention.

Charter For Mega-Events in Heritage-Rich Cities

The Charter provides clear principles and recommendations on how to avoid pitfalls that are typical of mega-events and engage heritage resources whilst safeguarding their values.

The Charter explores issues ranging from the new uses and physical stresses that mega-events can introduce in historic areas to changes in the understanding of heritage spaces. It explores the challenges for the local governance of mega-events. Local policymakers can refer to the Charter's recommendations from the initial bidding stages for cultural mega-events like Capital/City of Culture programmes and throughout the planning of the event and its legacy. More broadly, the Charter can be useful for organising other large cultural events, festivals, and sport mega-events that interact with cities' tangible and intangible heritage
