The 10th World Congress of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC) will be held on September 8 - 11, 2009 in Quito, Ecuador.

The Congress is organized by the city of Quito in collaboration with the OWHC and it includes a scientific program developed by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI). The congress theme will be "Revitalization of Historical centers: How to involve all social actors?"

The World Congress of the OWHC is a unique forum. Every two years it brings together politicians and professionals who are committed to the preservation of historic cities, particularly those inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The first of these events was held in 1991 and, ever since, this event has enabled participants to discuss topics of common interest, share their experiences and learn about new strategies for meeting the challenges associated with the conservation and management of World Heritage Cities.
