The Routledge Handbook on Historic Urban Landscapes in the Asia-Pacific: Routledge International Handbooks

Editat de Kapila Silva
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2020
The Routledge Handbook on Historic Urban Landscapes in the Asia-Pacific sheds light onto the balancing act of urban heritage management, focusing specifically on the Asia-Pacific regions in which this challenge is imminent and in need of effective solutions. Urban heritage, while being threatened amid myriad forces of global and ecological change, provides a vital social, cultural, and economic asset for regeneration and sustenance of liveability of inhabited urban areas worldwide.
This six-part volume takes a critical look at the concept of Historic Urban Landscapes, the approach that UNESCO promotes to achieve holistic management of urban heritage, through the lens of issues, prospects, and experiences of urban regeneration of the selected geo-cultural context. It further discusses the difficult task that heritage managers encounter in conceptualizing, mapping, curating, and sustaining the plurality, poetics, and politics of urban heritage of the regions in question. The connective thesis that weaves the chapters in this volume together reinforces for readers that the management of urban heritage considers cities as dynamic entities, palimpsests of historical memories, collages of social diversity, territories of contested identities, and sites for sustainable liveability. Throughout this edited collection, chapters argue for recognizing the totality of the eco-cultural urban fabric, embracing change, building social cohesion, and initiating strategic socio-economic progress in the conservation of Historic Urban Landscapes.
Containing thirty-seven contributions written by leading regional experts, and illustrated with over 200 black and white images and tables, this volume provides a much-needed resource on Historic Urban Landscapes for students, scholars, and researchers.

Recenzii

'The Routledge Handbook on Historic Urban Landscapes in the Asia-Pacific provides innovative perspectives on urban heritage conservation and development. A must read for students, teachers and researchers interested in contemporary issues facing urban heritage conservation and management in the Asia-Pacific.' - Sophia Labadi, Senior Lecturer in Heritage and Archaeology, University of Kent, UK
'The book provides a critical widening of the debate on conservation where historic urban landscapes get resituated in discussions about broader planning processes, enabling us to understand how "change" can be productively embraced and resisted simultaneously.' - Rahul Mehrotra, Architect and Professor of Urban Design and Planning, Harvard University, USA
'This is a highly engaging book on an increasingly important topic in international heritage conservation policy. In a region where many cities and cultures stretch back thousands of years, and in contexts where economic development is transforming lives and livelihoods, innovative, contextually grounded analyses are in high demand. Kapila Silva’s exciting and geographically ambitious collection of essays tackles such issues head on. Timely and much needed, it fills an important gap in the study of heritage in the Asia-Pacific.' - Tim Winter, Professor in Critical Heritage Studies, University of Western Australia
'As an academic interested in critical heritage studies along with holistic management approach, I see this handbook as a timely contribution on the HUL idea and associated practices. Spanning the Asia-Pacific region, the chapters - written by renowned and competent authors, navigate through logical sequence of themes – conceptualizing HUL, mapping the tangibles, safeguarding the intangibles, fostering sustainable urban heritage, localizing heritage stewardship, and assessing urban heritage policies. It is a good reference for learners and practitioners both.' - Neel Kamal Chapagain, Associate Professor, Director, Centre for Heritage Management, India
