Abstract

Historic centers are part of the legacy of society and have not only aesthetic, social, cultural and economic values, but also represent a source of social identity and constitute an invaluable heritage in terms of the meanings associated with it. Thus, the management of historic centers should be analyzed in a different way, especially when these are inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list. The objective of the article is to analyze the process of urban intervention and tourism development in the Historic Center of Morelia, Michoacán from the appointment as Cultural Heritage of Humanity, in order to identify its impact on the dynamics of urban reality. It is developed based on the methodological elements proposed by Troitiño Vinuesa (1992), supported by a comprehensive approach to urban transformation phenomena and processes. The article shows that the Historic Center of Morelia has undergone various urban interventions, which have led to the valorization of the site, the cultural legacy and the development of tourism, through the appropriation of heritage, the result of the implementation of neoliberal public policies that promote the commodification of public space.
