Heritage and Sustainable Urban Transformations introduces the
concept of 'deep cities', a novel approach to the understanding and
management of sustainable historic cities that will advance
knowledge about how the long-term, temporal and transformative
character of urban heritage can be better integrated into urban
policies for sustainable futures. Contrary to the growing emphasis
on green or smart cities, which focus only on the present and
future, the concept of 'deep cities' offers an approach that
combines an in-depth understanding of the past with the present and
future. Bringing together chapters that cover theoretical,
methodological and management issues related to 'deep cities', the
volume argues that using this approach will force researchers,
managers and consultants to actively use the heritage and history
of a city in the planning and management of sustainable cities.
Exploring different definitions of 'deep cities', the book reveals
varying and sometimes conflicting views among stakeholders
concerning how, where and when the depth of a city should be
conceptualized. Despite this, the book demonstrates how this new
approach can help to create robust cities for the future, as new
and innovative solutions are combined with the preservation and
strengthening of historical features. Heritage and Sustainable
Urban Transformations is the first international collection on the
subject of sustainable historic cities. As such, the book will be
of great interest to academics and students engaged in the study of
heritage, heritage management, architecture, heritage conservation,
anthropology, development studies, geography, planning and
archaeology.
