Stressing the relevance of heritage conservation in an era of smart cities, experts from different domains on Saturday called for treating investments on protection of tangible and intangible heritage as a benefit than a cost.
The multidisciplinary panel was participating in a round table on “How the heritage of a city informs its future and forms the base of its development” organised at the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP) as part of the ongoing Pondicherry Heritage Festival 2017.
