The Protected Vista draws a historical lineage from the
eighteenth-century picturesque to present-day planning policy,
highlighting how the values embedded within familiar views have
developed over time through appropriation by diverse groups for
cultural and political purposes. The book examines the intellectual
construction of the protected vista, questioning the values
entrenched within the view, by whom, and how they are observed and
disseminated, to reveal how these views have been, and continue to
be, part of a changing historical and political narrative. With a
deeper knowledge and understanding of the shifting values in urban
views, we will be better equipped to make decisions surrounding
their protection in our urban centres. The book identifies the
origins of current view protection policy in the aesthetic
convention of the picturesque, drawing on a range of illustrated
examples in the UK, the US, Australia, Canada and South Africa, to
serve as a useful reference for students, researchers and academics
in architecture, architectural conservation, landscape and urban
planning.
