HERITAGE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ANDLIVABILITY INDEX

•History, traditions, cultures are central to residents’ health and identity.

Pl i d i i ft fl t l l l lt l tt•Planning decisions often reflect local values- as a cultural matter, not a technical point.

•Differentiation helps places compete for tourists, jobs, and other assets; and showcasing heritage is the best way to differentiate a place/community.

• The paradox : Tourism in udaipur can grow immeasurably, specially with improved communication and infrastructure, but Udaipur Tourism can dry up completely if the lakes are not saved.

• CDP does not have an integrated approach to lakes, tourism and heritage.
