A preservação dos bens culturais imóveis na Baixa da cidade de Maputo problemas e medidas de mitigação

Abstract

The city of Maputo, more specifically downtown Maputo, has buildings of historical value that bear witness to the coexistence of different cultures and civilizations in our territorial space, and are legally protected as a whole. In this sense, maintaining the original characteristics of these immovable cultural assets is important as they contribute to education, scientific research, tourism and other social and economic activities. The title of this work is “The Preservation of Immovable Cultural Assets in Downtown Maputo: Problems and Mitigation Measures.” It examines the causes of the degradation of Immovable Cultural Assets in the specific context of Downtown Maputo. Mitigation measures are then put forward, taking into account the relevant legislation that has been approved in the country since National Independence. The study shows that there is a need for strict control of the interventions carried out on the Immovable Cultural Assets in order to maintain their original characteristics. I argue that, in the process of any intervention to be carried out on the Immovable Cultural Assets of downtown Maputo, their compatible uses must be guaranteed, as broadly as possible, so that they become relevant to society (local community and visitors), in the general context of the Complex, in which they are located
