The Climats, terroirs of Burgundy - France

The climates are precisely delimited vineyard parcels on the slopes of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune south of the city of Dijon. 

They differ from one another due to specific natural conditions (geology and exposure) as well as vine types and have been shaped by human cultivation.

Over time they came to be recognized by the wine they produce. 

This cultural landscape consists of two parts. Firstly, the vineyards and associated production units including villages and the town of Beaune, which together represent the commercial dimension of the production system. 

The second part includes the historic centre of Dijon, which embodies the political regulatory impetus that gave birth to the climats system. 

The site is an outstanding example of grape cultivation and wine production developed since the High Middle Ages.

Susa - Iran

Located in the south-west of Iran, in the lower Zagros Mountains, the property encompasses a group of archaeological mounds rising on the eastern side of the Shavur River, as well as Ardeshir’s palace, on the opposite bank of the river. 

The excavated architectural monuments include administrative, residential and palatial structures. 

Susa contains several layers of superimposed urban settlements in a continuous succession from the late 5th millennium BCE until the 13th century CE. 

The site bears exceptional testimony to the Elamite, Persian and Parthian cultural traditions, which have largely disappeared.

Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus District with Chilehaus - Germany

Speicherstadt and the adjacent Kontorhaus district are two densely built urban areas in the centre of the port city of Hamburg. 

Speicherstadt, originally developed on a group of narrow islands in the Elbe River between 1885 and 1927, was partly rebuilt from 1949 to 1967. 

It is one of the largest coherent historic ensembles of port warehouses in the world (300,000 m2). 

It includes 15 very large warehouse blocks as well as six ancillary buildings and a connecting network of short canals. 

Adjacent to the modernist Chilehaus office building, the Kontorhaus district is an area of over five hectares featuring six very large office complexes built from the 1920s to the 1940s to house port-related businesses. 

The complex exemplifies the effects of the rapid growth in international trade in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining - Japan

The site encompasses a series of twenty three component parts, mainly located in the southwest of Japan. 

It bears testimony to the rapid industrialization of the country from the middle of the 19th century to the early 20th century, through the development of the iron and steel industry, shipbuilding and coal mining. 

The site illustrates the process by which feudal Japan sought technology transfer from Europe and America from the middle of the 19th century and how this technology was adapted to the country’s needs and social traditions. 

The site testifies to what is considered to be the first successful transfer of Western industrialization to a non-Western nation.
