Conservation rather than restoration, the use of traditional materials and techniques, emphasizing the maintenance of properties and reconstruction of urban infrastructure are some of the basic principles of the recent conservation practice in the historic core of Split. Restoration of key buildings has being used as good practice examples. The objective of the new Management Plan is to preserve the Spirit of the Place by minimizing conflicts between cultural values and stakeholders’ interests, with a need for development and change. In line with its Action Plan, the City has launched several projects, some of which deal with the improvement of infrastructure and with the enhancement of energy efficiency in historic buildings.
