Managing Change - Sustainable Approaches To The Conservation Of The Built Environment

This volume brings together contributions from specialists in a wide range of fields-archaeology, architecture, conservation and management, city and regional planning, anthropology, biology, economics-who examine issues of sustainability as they relate to heritage conservation. The topics range in scale from individual buildings and sites to cities, landscapes, and other historic environments. The book offers a global perspective and demonstrates that conservation must be a dynamic process, involving public participation, dialogue, consensus, and, ultimately, better stewardship. Through its dual focus on theory and case studies, the work also makes an important contribution to the larger debate on quality of life and the environment.
