Urban heritage, while being threatened amidst 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-six 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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Historic districts |xConservation and restoration |zAsia. 776 |z1-138-59825-9 700 1 Silva, Kapila D., |eeditor. 830 0 Routledge international handbooks. 906 BOOK
