Why do we decide that parts of our built environment are worth the
special attention that heritage designation brings? How can the
character of conservation areas and other historic places continue
to evolve to provide new housing, release their economic potential
and enhance communities? What are the principles to understand when
judging the impact of new development or alterations to our
significant heritage assets? And what about the future of
conservation? In seeking to answer such questions, this book
provides a grounding for planners and other related professionals
in the key concepts associated with conservation and how to apply
them in practice. It begins by setting out the values and
principles that underpin the current conservation-planning systems,
explaining their historic context and evolution and critically
examining these systems and possible counter approaches.
Illustrated by a wide range of examples of historic and modern
buildings, conservation areas, world heritage sites, parks and
gardens, it then focuses upon decision-making and the management of
change. It discusses how the conservation of the historic
environment has become increasingly linked to other social and
economic policy objectives before identifying key lessons and
implications for future policy development and planning practice.
