The Implementation of Cultural Projects on Heritage: An Impossible Dream or a Feasible Reality?

Abstract

This article is an extract from the final project in the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage higher degree course and contemplates the implementation of cultural projects on ethnographic heritage of an industrial nature. Moreover, it specifically addresses the case of the creation of a cultural route around the lime kilns which have been preserved on the island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands).

On the basis of this case study, we reflect on the possible common ground between political and economic interests, intrinsic to our consumer society, and those of culture and heritage to create synergies between cultural and economic development.
