"If a man does not know to which port heads, no wind is favorable to him". Enunciated by Seneca in the first century, this reflection keeps today all its depth in the assumption of the citizen to fundamental domains and unique qualities, from the awareness how to learn up to how to think, take decisions and cope with the change, own ability to work, be self-taught and be creative, but also known to be critical. This portrayal is essential regarding the lecture fond in the relationship of contemporary cities with their heritage legacy, perpetual dialectic of the past with the future mediated between cultural existence and the edification program, at the same time when are outlined, in the policy strategy of the European Community, the future of European cities, centers for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, in which the Culture and the Heritage are aspects of this audacious cosmopolitan vision. The present study aims to contribute to this to this moment, patented in the dialectic of the city as a historical genesis of what will be Europe 2020, through the approach to a case study of small scale, a city from so many that constitute the European territory, the Sesimbra village, example of the identity that urban heritage carries, either estates types or relevant stakeholders involved in their daily dynamics. Traditional coastal city of Atlantic feature, in Sesimbra, the community experience has dictated its evolution over the centuries, marked in recent decades for the major recognition about their heritage, though, faced with the difficulty of ensuring the preservation of this originality over the growing tourism and the broad release in assimilating what is new and useful. The relationship hangs between urban space and the community or between urban mission and its using, permanent from the residents and occasional by the visitors, marks the guidelines to the Future. This dynamic is now reviewed in the light of the new cultural traditions valuation paradigms, validated in the clarity on the interpretation of the historic urban core and understanding about its management. Aims thus a more humanized character, centered on local identity and in the spread of its tangible and intangible assets, bases for proportional benefit for capacitating as justified contributions to the sustainability of urban historical ambience.
