Currently, more than half of the world's population is living in an urban context or city. Moreover, cities play a great role in human society’s sustainable development. By the time we are living in a world where half of the population is living in an urban context, cities are playing a very important role in the sustainable development of human society. According to these reasons, this thesis starts from the evolution of the ‘urban conservation’, by the way of analyzing the relevant Charters and Policies in the Modern era and combining them with the specific time background which being proposed. Afterward, critically assess these Charters and Policies to find the advantages and the weakness of them. Based on that reality, this work wants to deal with the evolution of the "urban conservation " analyzing the most relevant Charters and Policies in use during the Modern period, without ignoring their historical background, to understand their positive and negative aspects. In the field of Urban Conservation, I focus on the latest research achievement that the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL), which was proposed demonstratively in the Recommendation On The Historic Urban Landscape by UNESCO in 2011. HUL is the new broader understanding of the urban area and its settings, and also a new approach to manage and plan this comprehensive area. The focus of this research is about the latest achievement on the Historic Urban Landscape, discussed during the Recommendation on the historic urban landscape by the UNESCO Organization in 2011. Studying the HUL helps to understand better the urban area and its settings to have the basis to develop, a new management approach. Comparing with other relevant international Charters of urban conservation, HUL has unique advantages. It is controversial that the definition and elements of HUL in academia. On the other hand, the professional definition and description of HUL and its Approach is difficult for the masses. Therefore, I am going to try to interpret HUL by my perspective and to propose a new way to understand HUL and relevant assessment criteria which can evaluate which city is suitable for implementing the HUL Approach. This method as unique advantages compared to the others, but is still controversial in the academic world and very difficult to being understood by the masses. My work deal with the interpretation of the HUL to develop criteria that can be used to evaluate if the implementation of this method could be suitable for that city. Objectively speaking, Carrara is a splendid city that is well-known around the world. It has abundant urban heritage, from sculpture to the cathedral, from the castle to the historic square. However, Carrara has faced a series of problems: first, the value of the urban heritage of Carrara has not been exploited; second, the insufficient development of the tourism; third, the city’s low utilization; fourth, the enormous amount of relevant marble factory are abandoned, etc. For the application of this method, Carrara could be an interesting case study because it is characterized by an abandoned urban heritage, visibility into every aspect of the city. This heritage should be exploited and revitalized and could help the tourist sector that now is quite weak. This city also suffers from low utilization, and an example of that problem is the huge amount of abandoned marble cave. By using the assessment criteria proposed by myself, I could answer the question that why HUL is suitable for implementing on Carrara. Moreover, after the assessment of Carrara, I would propose a series of specific strategies to solve the current problems of Carrara according to the HUL Approach. The final goal of this work is to apply the new criteria proposed in the city of Carrara to understand if the implementation of HUL is suitable or not and to develop new strategies for the city according to the outcome of the HUL approach.
Attualmente, più della metà della popolazione mondiale vive in un contesto urbano o in una città. Inoltre, le città svolgono un grande ruolo nello sviluppo sostenibile della società umana. Nel momento in cui viviamo in un mondo in cui metà della popolazione vive in un contesto urbano, le città giocano un ruolo molto importante nello sviluppo sostenibile della società umana. Secondo queste ragioni, questa tesi parte dall'evoluzione della "conservazione urbana", analizzando le relative Carte e Politiche dell'era moderna e combinandole con il contesto temporale specifico che viene proposto. In seguito, valutare criticamente queste Carte e Politiche per trovarne i vantaggi e le debolezze. Sulla base di questa realtà, questo lavoro vuole affrontare l'evoluzione della "conservazione urbana" analizzando le Carte e le Politiche più rilevanti in uso in epoca moderna, senza tralasciare il loro background storico, per comprenderne gli aspetti positivi e negativi. Nel campo della Conservazione Urbana, mi concentro sull'ultimo risultato della ricerca che il Paesaggio Urbano Storico (HUL), che è stato proposto in modo dimostrativo nella Raccomandazione sul Paesaggio Urbano Storico dell'UNESCO nel 2011. HUL è la nuova comprensione più ampia dell'area urbana e delle sue impostazioni, e anche un nuovo approccio per gestire e pianificare quest'area globale. Al centro di questa ricerca si trova l'ultimo risultato raggiunto sul Paesaggio urbano storico, discusso durante la Raccomandazione sul paesaggio urbano storico dall'Organizzazione UNESCO nel 2011. Lo studio dello HUL aiuta a comprendere meglio l'area urbana e i suoi contesti per avere le basi per sviluppare un nuovo approccio gestionale. Rispetto ad altre importanti Carte internazionali di conservazione urbana, HUL ha dei vantaggi unici. È controverso che la definizione e gli elementi di HUL nel mondo accademico. D'altra parte, la definizione e la descrizione professionale di HUL e il suo approccio è difficile per le masse. Pertanto, cercherò di interpretare HUL dal mio punto di vista e di proporre un nuovo modo di capire HUL e i relativi criteri di valutazione che possano valutare quale città è adatta ad implementare l'Approccio HUL. Questo metodo come vantaggi unici rispetto agli altri, ma è ancora controverso nel mondo accademico e molto difficile da capire per le masse. Il mio lavoro si occupa dell'interpretazione di HUL per sviluppare criteri che possano essere usati per valutare se l'implementazione di questo metodo possa essere adatta a quella città. Obiettivamente parlando, Carrara è una splendida città conosciuta in tutto il mondo. Ha un patrimonio urbano abbondante, dalla scultura al duomo, dal castello alla piazza storica. Tuttavia, Carrara ha dovuto affrontare una serie di problemi: primo, il valore del patrimonio urbano di Carrara non è stato sfruttato; secondo, l'insufficiente sviluppo del turismo; terzo, il basso utilizzo della città; quarto, l'enorme quantità di marmifici rilevanti sono abbandonati, ecc. Per l'applicazione di questo metodo, Carrara potrebbe essere un caso di studio interessante perché è caratterizzata da un patrimonio urbano abbandonato, visibilità in ogni aspetto della città. Questo patrimonio dovrebbe essere valorizzato e rivitalizzato e potrebbe aiutare il settore turistico che oggi è piuttosto debole. Questa città soffre anche di uno scarso utilizzo, e un esempio di questo problema è l'enorme quantità di cave di marmo abbandonate. Utilizzando i criteri di valutazione da me proposti, potrei rispondere alla domanda: perché HUL è adatta ad essere realizzata a Carrara? Inoltre, dopo la valutazione di Carrara, proporrei una serie di strategie specifiche per risolvere i problemi attuali di Carrara secondo l'approccio HUL. L'obiettivo finale di questo lavoro è quello di applicare i nuovi criteri proposti nella città di Carrara per capire se l'implementazione di HUL è adatta o meno e sviluppare nuove strategie per la città secondo l'esito dell'approccio HUL.

Abstract
Currently, more than half of the world's population is living in an urban context or city. Moreover, cities play a great role in human society’s sustainable development. By the time we are living in a world where half of the population is living in an urban context, cities are playing a very important role in the sustainable development of human society.

Afterward, critically assess these Charters and Policies to find the advantages and the weakness of them. Based on that reality, this work wants to deal with the evolution of the "urban conservation " analyzing the most relevant Charters and Policies in use during the Modern period, without ignoring their historical background, to understand their positive and negative aspects. In the field of Urban Conservation, I focus on the latest research achievement that the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL), which was proposed demonstratively in the Recommendation On The Historic Urban Landscape by UNESCO in 2011.
