Past Matters brings together a group of largely Australian and New
Zealand academics who in a series of case studies consider how
planning concepts were adopted, adjusted, adapted and extended in a
Pacific Rim setting. The early chapters explore the interplay
between British and American planning models and local
circumstances in Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. The main body
of chapters recount difficulties faced by indigenous peoples with
respect to housing needs and more generally re-asserting themselves
in what began as colonial urban areas as well as others that look
at community meanings, liberalism and exclusion on the street, and
the power of sectional interests. The latter chapters also pose
questions about urban heritage in terms of what and whose interests
are at stake in these debates. The volume concludes with two
convergent chapters that outline some practices by which `heritage'
of a more day to day suburban sort can be protected within a
planning system. The collection centres on Australia and New
Zealand but extends to include chapters on Canada and Japan. The
viewpoints offered serve as a gentle reminder of the limitations of
`Metropolitian Theory'.
