Résumé

The historic city of Yazd, inscribed on the World Heritage List, is mostly built of earth. Therefore, it faces both difficulties in reconciling conservation and development, on one side, and specific maintenance and management issues associated along with the lack of traditional material skilled workers, on the other side. It shares common concerns with either the other 320 cities or the 203 earthen properties included in the World Heritage List. The challenges faced by these properties have led the World Heritage Committee to set up two specific programmes, the “World Heritage Cities Programme” initiated in South Africa in 2005 and the “World Heritage Earthen Architecture Programme” initiated in New Zealand in 2007. Both activities aim to share good practice within the international community of professionals and researchers. This publication, designed to make the regulatory framework accessible to the general public and professionals, is the third experience of its kind in a World Heritage property, after those for the historic town of Grand Bassam in Côte d’Ivoire and Cidade Velha in Cape Verde. These past experiences have demonstrated the effectiveness of such tools in preventing bad practices and supporting good initiatives. Such books are not easy to produce because the legal texts are sometimes subject to interpretation. For this edition in Yazd, the experience was particularly fruitful due to the impressive mobilisation of human resources that the city has dedicated to conservation for many years. The managers of the historic core, the academics as well as the technicians in charge of daily monitoring the sites were all mobilised to express their visions of the values and the appropriate or inappropriate evolutions. Lively debates were necessary to decide which interventions in the heritage would be perfectly acceptable, which are totally inadmissible and which can be tolerated under certain conditions. This openness to negotiation shows the difficulty that such exercise imposes something which conservators all over the world know well. What one person may find brilliant may be considered shocking to his or her colleagues, as a result consensus requires long debates. Working with illustrations has, therefore, helped to settle the issue, as images speak louder than words. Thanks to this format, gross errors are no longer possible
