Cities are subject to dynamic change at all times. Heritage conservation is one approach to perpetuate structural and spatial continuity through processes of selection and evaluation. In historic urban spaces it is involved in shaping urban development according to these continuities. Not only heritage conservation, but also the cities themselves are subject to planning logics that oscillate between law and diverging interests. These inherent planning logics, shaped through actor involvement, open up new opportunities in urban development as well as they portrait their limits. The appeal of historic urban spaces - e. g. old towns or residential neighborhoods - raises the question how heritage conservation defines and defined its position within these continuous processes of urban change. This anthology presents five essays that analyze the role of heritage conservation in the mesh of relations in urban development for selected examples in Germany from a historical perspective as well as with regard to current processes: the importance of damage recordings of the Second World War for the urban planning of Augsburg, historically "arranged" urban areas of the 1970s, which evoke an "old town character" in Hamburg, the Bauhaus settlement Dessau-Törten in the area of tension between aesthetic image protection, production and the adaptation to needs in housing, the importance of heritage conservation for gentrified neighborhoods in Berlin and the transforming of the historic spa town of Bad Münstereifel into an urban outlet center.
