“…The intrinsic conservation of cultural heritage within pedestrian areas is valuable also for investment decisions in the hospitality business and sustainable behaviour in tourism. In line with international literature findings, historic districts and preservation indeed induces investment decisions as well as environmental behaviour not only of inhabitants, but also of tourists [1]. Also for Vienna investments close to well-maintained cultural heritage might be profitable for individuals and the environment.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to monetarily assess the effect of cultural and natural goods and services on tourism in Vienna, Austria. By means of hedonic modelling, we investigate how the value of tourist places, cultural and natural monuments is capitalized in commercial housing prices. First, in the context of variable selection, main tourist attractions are identified. In the second section, by controlling for accessibility effects of transportation, the investigation area is defined. Using hedonic regression analyses, the tourists' willingness to pay for the adjacency to monuments is quantified. Finally, results obtained are used to illustrate the influence of sustainable city tourism on the preservation of cultural and natural monuments. There are particular important trade-offs between preservation and new construction. Keywords: hedonic model, nonmarket valuation of cultural goods and services, accessibility to monuments in sustainable tourism.

“…Historic cities have a crucial role to play in the social, cultural and economic development of post-industrial landscapes (Doratli et al, 2004;English Heritage, 2005;Gilderbloom et al, 2009;Ren, 2008;Tiesdell et al, 1996;Wilson, 2004). The preservation and restoration of historical space can produce a 'heritage dividend' (English Heritage, 1999) in cultural and economic regeneration.…”

The UK historic city of Durham is considered by policy-makers to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ in terms of economic potential for a county that has struggled to find a niche role following the collapse of coal mining. Perceived through the eyes of a local practitioner, this paper takes a look at how a networked ensemble of actors are responding to the economic recession and planning for the upturn. The paper examines the role of place quality improvements administered through the delivery of a city masterplan to stitch together the historic city fabric with a contemporary urban aesthetic. Through the case of the incremental renaissance of Durham city, it is suggested that a sensitive multi-layered development approach underpinned by deliberative democracy is required that responds to the needs of everyday users and local inhabitants.

“…Studies have shown high patterns of foreclosures inside the urban core and on the suburban fringe (Leinberger, 2009;Gilderbloom et al, 2009); some studies have shown that suburban areas are suffering from higher rates of foreclosure than the inner city (Immergluck 2009;NRDC, 2010). Other studies have correlated foreclosures with higher transportation costs and longer trips to work (NRDC, 2010) and have shown a disproportionate impact on central city neighborhoods (Immergluck, 2009), which are presumably more walkable, but have a high minority population.…”

“…Median assessed housing value is values, despite their reputation as undervaluing properties (Ambrosius et al, 2009;Gilderbloom et al, 2009). Proponents of using assessed values in analysis argue that gross assessment error is corrected by the appeals process and audits by state governments and that assessed value ''acts as a proxy for the true market value'' (Clapp and Giaccotto 1992: 301).…”
