Abstract: *Things Don’t Really Exist Until You Give Them a Name: Unpacking Urban Heritage* explores the evolving nature of urban heritage through diverse global narratives. The collection examines how cities’ identities are shaped by history, culture, and social dynamics, with case studies from Dar es Salaam, Berlin, Lubumbashi, and Nairobi. Key themes include the politics of heritage preservation, community-driven narratives, and the impact of globalization and local activism. It challenges traditional conservation models, emphasizing marginalized voices and alternative approaches like oral histories, to advocate for a more inclusive, dynamic understanding of urban heritage in both historical and contemporary contexts.
