Testaccio, A Digital Cultural Biography App

Abstract

Abstract. Features from the past in present cities have been identified as valuable and as potential assets for future urban development. Transferring knowledge about the history and heritage of the urban landscape is considered to be a challenging matter. This paper discusses how the process of knowledge transfer between past and future oriented disciplines can be optimized by combining mobile geospatial app technologies with the methodological framework of the biography of the urban landscape. A digital cultural biography app for Testaccio, a district in Rome, is presented which aims to optimize the process of knowledge transfer, thus optimizing the use of urban cultural heritage. This best practice is considered to be highly innovative for the integration of heritage in current and future cities.
