Immovable Culture Heritage
Description
The historic center of Macau perfectly showcases the fruits of centuries of integration and coexistence between Chinese and Western cultures. From the mid-16th century until 1999, Macau remained under Portuguese rule, leaving behind a rich legacy of Sino-Portuguese architecture, including streets, residences, religious, and public buildings. These structures not only bear witness to the exchange of aesthetics, culture,
architecture, and technology between the East and the West but also demonstrate their fusion.
Digital technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), have opened up new pathways for the preservation and promotion of Macau's cultural heritage. Through these technologies, audiences from around the world can embark on virtual journeys across different cultural backgrounds, thus gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of Macau's unique history and cultural heritage.
The conservation and revitalization efforts of the historic center of Macau play a significant role in achieving the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
• SDG 4 Quality Education
• SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth
• SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
• SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities
