These sources were the outcome of a proc ess of condensing conflicts and compromises. They were created through a s eries of aggregating\, grouping and structuring operations\, which were pr imarily intended for legal and administrative purposes. However\, until th e 1960s\, these were partly or wholly stuck at some stage of enactment or were created only for professional purposes. Analysis of documents not leg ally/administratively validated reveal ad hoc urban heritage spatial categ ories which\, on the one hand\, represent varying degrees of conceptual so phistication and\, on the other\, are indicators of needs which are not ye t or only partially expressed at the legislative level. These sources of u rban heritage can also be used as evidence of the success or inadequacy of the current conceptual apparatus\, in terms of whether changes in the per ception of urban space can be effectively incorporated into the available terminology.\nAs a complement to the legislation of monument protection\, the primary operational function of the monument registers was to enable t he various administrative authorities to find out quickly and easily about the exceptional procedures required for protected buildings. The first of ficial list was published in 1960. Previous attempts to officialise the li st were stopped at various stages before official publication or appeared exclusively in a professional context. The lists issued in manuscript form before 1960 are considered to be useful sources of information about prof essional 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 const ruction of buildings in the city. Its main function\, in general terms\, i s to provide a framework for organising the city of the present and the fu ture\, thus becoming one of the tools for implementing urban planning. It therefore also contains references and provisions relating to urban herita ge. The building codes were adapted to the requirements and needs of the c urrent urban policy and to local specificities\, and have therefore had to be constantly updated.\nDuring the period under review\, general master p lans of Budapest combined a strategic and technical approach\, containing maps 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 document was adopted much later\, in 1960. The analysis does not begin wit h the 1960 plan but includes those that remained at the approval stage (be fore coming into force) and those that defined strategic orientations for the plan as the Urban Development Programme.\nTo analyse the spatial conce ntration and geographic data contained in these sources\, I have created a database of monument registers using geographic information system (QGIS software)\, thus integrated the object identifiers and descriptive data in to a single system and projected them onto maps\, coupled with the spatial information contained in the urban planning documents.\nThe definition an d 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 activi ties and interactions/conflicts of many actors and institutions. These reg ulatory and planning documents drew multifaceted ‘layers’ of content o n urban areas\, operationalised urban conservation objectives in different spatial categories\, and encoded in their concepts the temporality of the ir operations\, the specific ways of managing change in urban space. We ca n trace the typological and spatial expansion of urban heritage\, which di d not develop in a linear manner.\nThe co-existing protected spatial conce pts 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 protectio n were mostly conceived of as groups of buildings\, the urban zones of the building regulations expressed a territoriality\, and urban master plans created objects from the townscape to the neighbourhood according to the t erritorial unit they approached. Their graphic representation also bears w itness to their different approaches\, whether it is a continuous line run ning along facades or a zone with specific boundaries. In essence\, the li ne and the zone are value imprints of urban heritage\, whose variations in dicate the typological\, spatial and abstract expansion of heritage. In ad dition\, spatial concepts have emerged that have blurred boundaries or mad e them secondary: categories that protect the distant view and landscape r elations have appeared in some conceptualisations.\nThis paper analyses th e change in the spatial scale of Budapest's urban heritage through histori cal and geographical information gathered from the monument registers\, bu ilding codes and general master plans between 1930 and 1990.
