西湖文化景觀自9世紀唐代文豪白居易疏浚水域，並修築具有景觀價值的白堤開始，經歷了千餘年人與自然的不斷互動，在清代發展至鼎盛，成為中國歷史上最具有傑出精神棲居功能的「文化名湖」。2011年，西湖文化景觀成功登錄世界遺產名錄，被認定是文化景觀的一個傑出範例，具備「設計的景觀」、「持續性景觀」、「關聯性景觀」的特徵。 本文主要通過對過去十餘年西湖文化景觀申遺前、後工作的梳理，在對遺產更加全面系統認識，和對現今遺產保護管理工作總結的基礎上，一方面對西湖文化景觀申遺歷程，主要是對遺產價值的提煉、遺產點的修復和文化展示工作進行回顧；另一方面對西湖文化景觀未來保護管理工作，尤其是對文化景觀遺產監測預警體系的建立，和社區公眾參與策略的制定進行展望。 在西湖文化景觀的「後申遺時代」，進一步探索遺產的保護管理模式，推動遺產與人、社會和城市之間的良性互動，真正實現西湖文化景觀保護管理的可持續發展。
