Riassunto

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the intellectual developments in urban conservation. The authors offer unique insights from UNESCO's World Heritage Centre and the book is richly illustrated with colour photographs. Examples are drawn from urban heritage sites worldwide from Timbuktu to Liverpool to demonstrate key issues and best practice in urban conservation today. The book offers an invaluable resource for architects, planners, surveyors and engineers worldwide working in heritage conservation, as well as for local authority conservation officers and managers of heritage sites.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

But for the time being, we can dispassionately recommend that this book becomes the manual not only of professional planners, conservation officers and managers of heritage sites worldwide, but also of academics and students, of landscape designers, architects and engineers and of everyone involved in urban conservation and management, because there is no target audience for a book that is at the same time militant and historical.   (Planning Perspectives, 11 March 2013)

This is an important book, destined one hopes to be essential reading for those involved in urban conservation globally: scholars, practitioners, managers, students.   (Landscape Research Journal, 2012)

 Heritage has become a recognized economic driver, and the authors are proponents of the integration of urban conservation into urban development. The Historic Urban Landscape methodology, therefore, becomes a tool for the management of change (This book) is well written, straightforward and easy to understand. Its concepts are an evolution of current practices in a rapidly changing world impacted by urban migration and globalization. The Historic Urban Landscape will change in a major way accepted notions of historic cities preservation. Pamela Jerome Association of Preservation Technology Bulletin, 2012 with this volume, Francesco Bandarin and Ron van Oers manage to make a most valuable contribution to this body of literature with a thoughtful and practical approach I would recommend the book to scholars of urban planning, but also as a must read for any policy–maker and officers of local authority working in the field of heritage conservation and heritage site management.
