Resignification of cultural heritage in urban edges

Abstract

The article approaches the importance of cultural heritage as an element of cohesion in the communities settled in edge territories. For this three topics are addressed: the definition of heritage. The resignification as a process of recognition of the realities of the communities with their territory and the edge space as a scene of confluence of various socio-territorial conditions. The results show how resignification is an opportunity to reflect on the dynamics that operate in urban edge contexts, such as the case of Usme and its urban-rural particularity. It is concluded that the construction of tools capable of intervening and managing these dynamics present in the edge territories and communities are necessary.
