Contents:
pt. 1. Reflections on past and future directions -- pt. 2. Community stewardship and diverse values -- pt. 3. New approaches and policy frameworks : the recommendation on historic urban landscape (HUL) -- pt. 4. Confronting the everyday challenge of cultural landscape management -- pt. 5. Climate change and global transformation : sustaining cultural landscapes for the future.
Summary: "New approaches to both cultural landscapes and historic urban landscapes increasingly recognize the need to guide future change, rather than simply protecting the fabric of the past. Challenging traditional notions of historic preservation, Conserving Cultural Landscapes takes a dynamic multifaceted approach to conservation. It builds on the premise that a successful approach to urban and cultural landscape conservation recognizes cultural as well as natural values, sustains traditional connections to place, and engages people in stewardship where they live and work. It brings together academics within the humanities and humanistic social sciences, conservation and preservation professionals, practitioners, and stakeholders to rethink the meaning and practice of cultural heritage conservation, encourage international cooperation, and stimulate collaborative research and scholarship.
