This book explores cultural sustainability and its relationships to
heritage from a wide interdisciplinary perspective. By examining
the interactions between people and communities in the places where
they live it exemplifies the diverse ways in which a people-centred
heritage builds identities and supports individual and collective
memories. It encourages a view of heritage as a process that
contributes through cultural sustainability to human well-being and
socially- and culturally-sensitive policy. With
theoretically-informed case studies from leading researchers, the
book addresses both concepts and practice, in a range of places and
contexts including landscape, townscape, museums, industrial sites,
every day heritage, 'ordinary' places and the local scene, and even
UNESCO-designated sites. The contributors, most of whom, like the
editors, were members of the COST Action 'Investigating Cultural
Sustainability', demonstrate in a cohesive way how the cultural
values that people attach to place are enmeshed with issues of
memory, identity and aspiration and how they therefore stand at the
centre of sustainability discourse and practice. The cases are
drawn from many parts of Europe, but notably from the Baltic, and
central and south-eastern Europe, regions with distinctive recent
histories and cultural approaches and heritage discourses that
offer less well-known but transferable insights. They all
illustrate the contribution that dealing with the inheritance of
the past can make to a full cultural engagement with sustainable
development. The book provides an introductory framework to guide
readers, and a concluding section that draws on the case studies to
emphasise their transferability and specificity, and to outline the
potential contribution of the examples to future research, practice
and policy in cultural sustainability. This is a unique offering
for postgraduate students, researchers and professionals interested
in heritage management, governance and community participation and
cultural sustainability.
