Securing Urban Heritage considers the impact of securitization on
access to urban heritage sites. Demonstrating that symbolic spaces
such as these have increasingly become the location of choice for
the practice and performance of contemporary politics in the last
decade, the book shows how this has led to the securitization of
urban public space. Highlighting specific changes that have been
made, such as the installation of closed-circuit television or the
limitation of access to certain streets, plazas and buildings, the
book analyses the impact of different approaches to securitization.
Claiming that access to heritage sites is a precursor to an
informed and thorough understanding of heritage, the editors and
contributors to this volume argue that new forms of securing urban
heritage, including community involvement and digitalization, offer
possibilities for the protection and use of urban heritage. Looking
more closely at the versatile relationship between access and
securitization in this context, the book provides a theoretical
framework for the relationship between urban heritage and
securitization. Comparing case studies from cities in Angola,
Bulgaria, Eritrea, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia,
Mexico, Norway, Russia, Suriname, Sweden, Turkey, UK, and the US,
the book reveals some of the key mechanisms that are used to
regulate access to heritage sites around the world. Providing
much-needed insight into the diverse challenges of securitization
for access and urban heritage, Securing Urban Heritage should be
essential reading for academics, students, and practitioners from
the fields of heritage and urban studies, architecture, art
history, conservation, urban planning, and urban geography.
