        			&quot;Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities&quot; examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through case studies from across Europe and elsewhere, assessing them against the sustainability agenda.

        			Urban conservation is a concept that has been with us since at least the 1960s. Sustainable development is a concept that originated in the 1980s and has become one of the core agendas of our time. Although their roots are different, conservation and sustainability share common ground.This book sets out to examine how these issues relate to each other in the context of historic cities. It aims to:ae identify weaknesses in current philosophy and practice in urban conservation;ae set out the relationship between successful architectural conservation and wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity;ae summarise the communality of approach and practice that needs to be fostered and developed between a complex range of interrelated issues and disciplines;ae enhance both the perceived relevance of architectural conservation and its level of attainment;ae extend the achievement of the goals of sustainability in the context of historic cities; andae highlight the opportunities for conservation and sustainability to work in a partnership of profound strength and mutual achievement.Previous publications have focused on conservation and sustainability as though they are separate issues. Perceptions, however, are changing, new linkages are being forged, and this book seeks to contribute to this importantprocess.The starting point for this book is the United Kingdom. It draws from examples of theory and practice across Europe and elsewhere around the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    nice academic research book
  

*by M***L on 29 June 2010*

Very good organization with perfect references, it is a very good theoretical study but the examples not in detailed, and it very useful to any one want to study the relation between urban conservation and sustainable development, with some examples in UK.the best thing in the book is the brief summary at the end of each chapter.
