Abstract
The concept of heritage is constantly on the cultural and politic agenda of contemporary society. The reflections in this chapter move away from legal and legislative references toward the meaning the capital has assumed within the disciplines that study territory, landscape, and architecture. Describing the many ways in which the term is used reveals the gradual expansion of the concept of heritage as well as the growing importance that heritage plays in spatial planning.
