What strategies did cities develop from the 1970s as their
industrial base experienced terminal contraction? How did cities
manage the transition from their traditional industrial base to one
suited to a global economy? Central to these processes was a
strategy to improve the built environment by either adapting
historic urban buildings or by demolishing and replacing them.
Proposed demolitions revealed both the extent to which the historic
environment was considered relevant in a contemporary world and
what value it was assigned by a complex matrix of agencies. In the
context of these different agendas and fluctuating power bases this
book identified a four stage process of using the historic
environment to secure urban regeneration: firstly, recognising the
meaning of space; secondly, managing urban change; thirdly,
seducing urban users, and fourthly, manipulating the historic
environment. The book will prove useful to students and
professionals working in the fields of history, heritage, planning
and regeneration.
