Can conservation of the built heritage be reconciled with the speed
of urban change in cities of the developing world? What are the
tools of sustainable design and how can communities participate in
the design of the environments in which they live and work? These
are some of the questions explored within this innovative and
richly illustrated book. A wealth of examples drawn from Mexico,
Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India and Myanmar
demonstrate how rapid physical and social change has swept away
historic urban quarters and the cultural heritage they represent.
Written in an accessible style the rich mix of concepts, research
methods, analysis and practice-based tools is designed for
academics and professionals alike. Leading academics Zetter and
Watson have produced a fascinating book that is amongst the first
to explore the concept of urban sustainability within the context
of urban design in the developing world.
