Abstract
Heritage studies and the forming discourse are the focus of various transformations. These transformations can be interpreted as a paradigm shift, affecting the broadening realm of meaning and action in contemporary times. Likewise, global threats such as climate change, increasing urbanization, migration, war, energy crisis, as well as the rapidly changing social and economic conjuncture have significant effects on the understanding and interpretation of heritage. It can be argued that this situation necessitates repositioning conservation theory and practice in the context of prominent current issues and the pursuit of building a shared future.This article aims to discuss the possibility of creating a future intertwined with the past and present, based on the metamorphosis that the field has been going through. The instrumentalization of heritage for a purposeful, systematic future-making process and its parallels with the forming principles, sustainable development in particular, constitute the main basis of this discussion. The study traces the significant points and rising trends in the transformation of the field while identifying capacity building among the key tools within the process. The possibilities offered by innovative and interdisciplinary initiatives are also examined in the creation of an inclusive and pluralistic heritage paradigm that does not leave anyone behind.
