This new and substantially revised edition of Heritage Planning:
Principles and Process offers an extensive overview of the
burgeoning fields of heritage planning and conservation.
Positioning professional practice within its broader applied and
theoretical contexts, the authors provide a firm foundation for
understanding the principles, history, evolution, debates, and
tools that inform heritage planning, while also demonstrating how
to effectively enact these processes. Few published works focus on
the practice of heritage planning. The first edition of this book
was developed to fill this gap, and this second edition builds upon
it. The book has been expanded in scope to incorporate new research
and approaches, as well as a wide range of international case
studies. New themes reflect the emerging recognition that
sustainability, climate resilience, human rights, social justice,
and reconciliation are fundamental to the future of planning.
Heritage Planning is indispensable reading, not only for
professionals who transform the built environment, but for anyone
who wants to understand the ideas and practices of heritage
planning and conservation. For the benefit of student readers,
twelve chapters-designed to accommodate the academic semester-are
augmented with concise summaries, key terms and definitions,
questions, and learning objectives.

The many and varied threads of Canada's national life come together
in its capital region. Where the Rideau River flows into the Ottawa
River, an Algonquin community was visited by French explorers and
settled by British colonists. The town grew into a city, spilled
over a provincial border, and now represents Canada to the world.
Ottawa is a seat of government and has all the official edifices to
show for it. But as Andrew Waldron shows you in Exploring the
Capital, it's a lot more than that. Follow the twelve guided-tours
covering all corners of the region in Ontario and Quebec and you'll
encounter homes and schools, cultural sites and green spaces,
houses of worship and shrines to commerce. Early houses, humble or
magnificent, from the era of the lumber barons can be found steps
away from the latest in sleek condominiums and office towers built
for sustainability. Waldron takes you behind the doors of more than
390 diverse structures to learn who made them, how, and why.
Exploring the Capital is for architectural experts and amateurs,
and for residents and visitors alike. Visit Ottawa's landmarks and
neighbourhoods through its stories, maps, and photographs, and
learn how great design and engineering turn landscapes into
cityscapes.
