Places of Heritage in Cities:The Challenge of Planning Based on Their Sustainable Urban Integration

The paper examines a case study of a monument of cultural heritage,which includes elements of historical,architectural and rural landscape,as well as other material and intangible elements.The monument,named“Averofios Agricultural School”,is located within the urban area of Larissa,on its outskirts.The school,established in 1901,operates as an educational agricultural organization,has been declared to be preserved by the Greek Ministry of Culture and its management involves five different public institutions.The main issue is that the school is at risk of depreciation due to degrading phenomena and its further isolation.The paper argues that its obsolescence could be stopped if the area could be integrated into the city of Larissa from the urban,operational,educational and strategic point of view.For this purpose,it is proposed to regenerate the area and to use it as a peri-urban rural educational park with local,regional and national scope.
