Dealing with Modern Heritage in Times of Crisis Dealing with modern heritage in times of crisis is addressing the global and local challenges that designers and planners and organizations like DOCOMOMO International have to recognize and analyze on different levels. When moving its headquarters back to TU Delft in 2022 the International Secretariat formulated three main areas of action for the running programmatic period until 2025: sustainability, digitalization and education. Those themes are inherently connected to each other and are at the core of DOCOMOMO’s mission. But the organization is also challenged by divergent global shifts between the Global North and South. Documentation and conservation of modern heritage are understood not as luxurious intellectual goods but as a direct contribution to sustainability within the scope of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): saving resources, making cities better and providing education are main contributions. The current 79 national working parties are dealing with different challenges and priorities related to the documentation and conservation of modern heritage in each region that need to be addressed differently. In a comparative approach the International Secretariat is analyzing the strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of the national working parties in order to draw conclusions for the future workprogram. It can be noticed that the open access to many materials and research during the last two decades has already made a difference and allows for a smoother knowledge transfer, in particular among the younger generation. We also notice the diversity in the composition of the national working parties, coming from academia, professional or activists background. This diversity in expression and the local character of each national working party guarantee for the development of individual and suitable approaches. A priority on DOCOMOMO International’s agenda will be the provision of further material, including the digitization of old documents and the creation of new documents, webinars or online-courses related to historical, technological or societal aspects of modern heritage and aiming at the improvement of our built and lived environment. Of particular interest is to provide access to affordable housing, food and water. 9 14-21 14-21 City Hall of Gdynia and Faculty of Architecture of the Gdańsk University of Technology.
