%X This paper aims at providing a comprehensive review on disaster risk mitigation of urban cultural heritage assets located in historical centres, by providing a holistic framework on the features of such a complex system. From all the hazards and threats that can possibly harm cultural heritage assets, particular focus will be given to earthquake risk. The review of the state of science in which the earthquake risk mitigation concerns is considered fundamental to understand the current streams of thought and to identify new research gaps and opportunities to enhance the knowledge level on this particular field of research.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
