Georgetown and Melaka, historic cities of the Straits of Malacca, are renowned for their multicultural heritage. They are located at a strategic position for the 15th - 18th century trade between Europe and Asia. Their culture and townscapes further evolved after being colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British.

In the case of Georgetown, which is to be inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List, is an effort by Malaysia since 2004.
