Management is one of the main factors affecting World Heritage Sites; thus, the increased complexity of a serial nomination enhances this risk. By integrating different stakeholders, a Joint Management Plan (JMP) is a key tool to settle common procedures and help different managers maintain a satisfactory balance in safeguarding the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) in each component part. This paper aims to provide a framework for the development of JMPs for serial nominations, with support on the nomination proposal \u201c\u00c1lvaro Siza\u2019s Architecture: A Modern Contextualism Legacy\u201d. Methods result from the cross-analysis of (i) policy analysis; (ii) archival research and digital documentation; (iii) collaborative strategies (surveys, interviews, workshops, meetings, consultations); (iv) fieldwork. Results confirmed that the development of JMPs must be sustained by an open and dynamic process, where engagement, mediation of conflicts, and flexibility are key principles. This work approaches a significant subject concerning the management of World Heritage serial nominations, focusing on JMPs for serial nominations, which are a rising trend in heritage management. A demonstration is applied to the WH nomination of works by \u00c1lvaro Siza, a prominent figure in worldwide contemporary architecture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/architecture4040043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,1]],"date-time":"2024-10-01T05:26:33Z","timestamp":1727760393000},"page":"820-834","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Joint Management Plans in World Heritage serial nominations: the case of \u00c1lvaro Siza\u2019s Modern Contextualism Legacy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4325-4775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa Cunha","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8563-6993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Murilo","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Tiago Trindade","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Mendon\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"UNESCO (2021).
