The project intends to promote action aiming to improve the strategies of 6 cities featured in the UNESCO World Heritage list - Porto, Evora, Angra do Heroísmo, Guimarães, Santiago de Compostela and Lugo - whilst taking into account their specific cultural features. Various pilot actions will be developed in each of the cities taking part: - In Porto: creation of a virtual tourist office, - In Evora: creation of a Cultural Heritage Interpretation Centre, - In Angra do Heroísmo: pilot plan on accessibility and traffic in the historic centre, - In Guimaraes: pilot fire prevention plan - In Santiago de Compostela: pilot plan concerning street furniture and signposting, - In Lugo: pilot plan to eliminate architectonic barriers.
