The book "Issues of Cultural Management" by academic G.P. Lavva is one of his visions that he did not have the opportunity to complete himself. It aims in an understandable and scientifically documented way to deliver to younger generations the lessons of the two new scientific disciplines, Monument Management and Cultural Heritage.

The structure of the chapters generally follows the main axes of his courses, from clarifying terms, conceptual and ideological determinations, to the analytical overview of specific topics and case studies. More specifically, the chapters include: keywords, development of subchapters from published or unpublished texts by G.P. Lavva, case studies, proposals from the editors of the edition for further study and research by the reader, and bibliography of G.P. Lavva.

The deindustrialization of areas in the modern post-city, the evolution of historical centers into cultural attractions, and the emergence of new tourist attractions (theme parks) and museums (monuments/landmarks) for the city create prospects, but also challenges, which the science of Heritage Management is called to address with a documented approach to perception and action.
