The Danish Cultural Heritage [Recurs electrònic] / Chr. Hjorth-Andersen

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Copenhagen : Institute of Economics. University of Copenhagen, 2004Description: 28 pOnline resources: Summary: This paper deals with the Danish cultural heritage understood as the tangible heritage, mainly buildings. The paper briefly describes the political economy of conserving the cultural heritage and the means of preserving it. The main focus of the paper is, however, on the present Danish conservation policy. The paper presents estimates of the costs of preserving the cultural heritage on a national scale. It is concluded that while the level of conservation probably conforms to the wishes of the Danish people marginal decisions are probably misguided. In particular, a detailed examination of the practices of the Danish Conservation Board is presented. The Board is not guided by the recommended cost-benefit perspective but rather in practice devoted to preserving architectonical values. (Abstract)
