Abstract
Heritage sites are frequently intertwined with spaces that are subject to dynamic political, social and environmental influences. Yet, conceptually heritage conservation puts a focus on promoting measures that curb change and this tends to neglect or underestimate user needs. The aim of this chapter is to show through the case study Island of Mozambique that the instrument Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) can contribute positively to the management of historic heritage sites if it is carefully inserted into institutional planning spheres. The creation and exploration of the possibilities that change offers can help to improve the position of heritage and has the potential to enhance local acceptance of heritage conservation, an important issue in the overall processes of governing urban Africa.
