These sources were the outcome of a proce ss of condensing conflicts and compromises. They were created through a se ries of aggregating\, grouping and structuring operations\, which were pri marily intended for legal and administrative purposes. However\, until the 1960s\, these were partly or wholly stuck at some stage of enactment or w ere created only for professional purposes. Analysis of documents not lega lly/administratively validated reveal ad hoc urban heritage spatial catego ries which\, on the one hand\, represent varying degrees of conceptual sop histication and\, on the other\, are indicators of needs which are not yet or only partially expressed at the legislative level. These sources of ur ban heritage can also be used as evidence of the success or inadequacy of the current conceptual apparatus\, in terms of whether changes in the perc eption of urban space can be effectively incorporated into the available t erminology.\nAs a complement to the legislation of monument protection\, t he primary operational function of the monument registers was to enable th e various administrative authorities to find out quickly and easily about the exceptional procedures required for protected buildings. The first off icial list was published in 1960. Previous attempts to officialise the lis t were stopped at various stages before official publication or appeared e xclusively in a professional context. The lists issued in manuscript form before 1960 are considered to be useful sources of information about profe ssional intentions and requirements for protection.\nThe building code is a regulatory document\, mostly with geographically defined concepts. This is a set of provisions and\, more broadly\, of policy ideas for the constr uction of buildings in the city. Its main function\, in general terms\, is to provide a framework for organising the city of the present and the fut ure\, thus becoming one of the tools for implementing urban planning. It t herefore also contains references and provisions relating to urban heritag e. The building codes were adapted to the requirements and needs of the cu rrent urban policy and to local specificities\, and have therefore had to be constantly updated.\nDuring the period under review\, general master pl ans of Budapest combined a strategic and technical approach\, containing m aps and textual information. Since the 1930s\, professional and political debates have often focused on the need for a general master plan to solve many of the problems facing the capital. Yet Budapest’s first official d ocument was adopted much later\, in 1960. The analysis does not begin with the 1960 plan but includes those that remained at the approval stage (bef ore coming into force) and those that defined strategic orientations for t he plan as the Urban Development Programme.\nTo analyse the spatial concen tration and geographic data contained in these sources\, I have created a database of monument registers using geographic information system (QGIS s oftware)\, thus integrated the object identifiers and descriptive data int o a single system and projected them onto maps\, coupled with the spatial information contained in the urban planning documents.\nThe definition and content of protected spatial categories depend on the type of documents\, a priori on the scale of observation. These sources can be understood as levels of historical information\, the product of the intellectual activit ies and interactions/conflicts of many actors and institutions. These regu latory and planning documents drew multifaceted ‘layers’ of content on urban areas\, operationalised urban conservation objectives in different spatial categories\, and encoded in their concepts the temporality of thei r operations\, the specific ways of managing change in urban space. We can trace the typological and spatial expansion of urban heritage\, which did not develop in a linear manner.\nThe co-existing protected spatial concep ts and areas in these documents can also be considered as different urban readings. When applied to the studied area\, they become systematisable\, above all in terms of scale. The spatial categories of monument protection were mostly conceived of as groups of buildings\, the urban zones of the building regulations expressed a territoriality\, and urban master plans c reated objects from the townscape to the neighbourhood according to the te rritorial unit they approached. Their graphic representation also bears wi tness to their different approaches\, whether it is a continuous line runn ing along facades or a zone with specific boundaries. In essence\, the lin e and the zone are value imprints of urban heritage\, whose variations ind icate the typological\, spatial and abstract expansion of heritage. In add ition\, spatial concepts have emerged that have blurred boundaries or made them secondary: categories that protect the distant view and landscape re lations have appeared in some conceptualisations.\nThis paper analyses the change in the spatial scale of Budapest's urban heritage through historic al and geographical information gathered from the monument registers\, bui lding codes and general master plans between 1930 and 1990.
