- [How Abu Dhabi is protecting culturally significant buildings](https://worldcitiescultureforum.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/city-project/abu-dhabi-modern-heritage-conservation-initiative.md) — Launched in 2023, Abu Dhabi’s Modern Heritage initiative identifies, safeguards, and maintains sites that have shaped Abu Dhabi’s cultural identity in the last 50 years. These sites are safeguarded for future generations due to their architectural, historical, societal, or scientific importance. The first 64 buildings conserved include a school, sports centre, hotels, and markets that have become culturally significant landmarks, serving as paradigms of architectural design and urban planning.
