  text: "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\r\nprogrammatic 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\r\nintellectual
    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.\r\nThe 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\r\nof 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. "
