The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) builds intercultural understanding by protecting heritages and supporting cultural diversity. The organization also created the concept of World Heritage to protect sites of outstanding universal value. As you saw in the video, UNESCO helped plan the Mostar Bridge reconstruction. In a short paragraph, explain why this type of work is important
The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed.
