Description:'Historic Urban Landscape' is a new approach to urban heritage management, promoted by UNESCO, and currently one of the most debated issues in the international preservation community. However, few conservation practitioners have a clear understanding of what it entails, and more importantly, what it can achieve.Following the publication of "Historic Urban Landscape: managing heritage in an Urban Century," the new heritage management approach is now further elaborated with a much more practical slant.The first book dealt with the underlying theory related to scholarly traditions and contexts (European and non-European) as part of a broader international policy process initiated by UNESCO. This follow-up book translates the rather abstract notion of the Historic Urban Landscape into the operational set of management practices. In this second volume, the editors pull together specially commissioned chapters on best practice in urban heritage management from established professionals in the field. These chapter authors are drawn from a variety of disciplines related to urban management and conservation. They present and discuss methodologies and practices to consider in the implementation of the Historic Urban Landscape approach as advocated by UNESCO.The contributors are selected from professionals who have written, argued or debated about the role of historic cities in contemporary society. As well as their chapters, there are interviews with six high-profile people from different regions of the world giving their critical reflections on the UNESCO approach in relation to their own ideas on urban heritage conservation and city management."The Historic Urban Management: design with culture "provides a thorough discussion, structured by themes on issues related to key topics in the field of urban management, e.g. changing demographics; increasing urbanisation; pressures of economic development and decentralisation; social interaction; and tourism.By presenting a range of methodologies and tools to support urban conservation in a way that is sensitive to cultural differences, the editors encourage a departure from the compartmentalized approaches of today's urban heritagemanagement."
