Examining urban heritage in twentieth-century Australia, James Lesh
reveals how evolving ideas of value and significance shaped cities
and places. Over decades, a growing number of sites and areas were
found to be valuable by communities and professionals. Places
perceived to have value were often conserved. Places perceived to
lack value became subject to modernisation, redevelopment, and
renewal. From the 1970s, alongside strengthened activism and
legislation, with the innovative Burra Charter (1979), the
values-based model emerged for managing the aesthetic, historic,
scientific, and social significance of historic environments.
Values thus transitioned from an implicit to an overt component of
urban, architectural, and planning conservation. The field of
conservation became a noted profession and discipline. Conservation
also had a broader role in celebrating the Australian nation and in
reconciling settler colonialism for the twentieth century.
Integrating urban history and heritage studies, this book provides
the first longitudinal study of the twentieth-century Australian
heritage movement. It advocates for innovative and reflexive modes
of heritage practice responsive to urban, social, and environmental
imperatives. As the values-based model continues to shape
conservation worldwide, this book is an essential reference for
researchers, students, and practitioners concerned with the past
and future of cities and heritage. The Foreword and Chapter
1/Introduction of this book are available for free in PDF format as
