‘Revisiting Kathmandu’ is an international symposium on the conservation of living urban heritage. It has taken place in the context of a rapidly changing understanding of heritage as a concept that does not only include monuments any more, but complex urban spaces, where people live, work, worship and celebrate festivals. As values and aspirations of society change, the approach of urban conservation must adapt and respond to this change. The symposium discussed on how to maintain the delicate balance between conserving what represents the intrinsic character and value of the historic city, while, at the same time, allowing for the change that is required for the city to continue to develop.
