The Cordoba Path is one of two programs dedicated to the development of the New Urban Process (NUP).

Building on the results and lessons learned from the Québec Roadmap, the activities of the Cordoba Path focused on organizing the collective drafting of the New Urban Process.

The program was structured around three main activities: the Urban Heritage Regeneration Accelerator, the CityLabs, and the Focus Groups.

The Urban Heritage Regeneration Accelerator, an initiative in partnership with the Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance (CHiFA), enabled four member cities to developed blended finance investment proposals designed to catalyze pilot projects in their historic cores.

The CityLabs explored key topics essential to the New Urban Process, fostering targeted dialogue aimed at developing shared statements and solutions.

Finally, the Focus Groups synthesized the contributions from all activities to present the components of the reference and operational frameworks.

The work carried out along the Cordoba Path has helped consolidate the objectives of the New Urban Process, outline the contours of its reference framework, and progressively structure an operational approach capable of guiding cities in its implementation.

This stage constituted the final phase prior to the preparation of the Symposium and the adoption of the New Urban Process, which will mark a major shift in how World Heritage cities approach the management and transformation of their historic centers.
