Goodfellow Publishers Limited The Planning and Management of Responsible Urban
Book SynopsisThis new and timely book looks at the issue that Heritage in general, and in particular urban heritage in Asia, is at the centre of a perfect storm. Populations are increasing rapidly in cities as urbanization grows and there are ever larger numbers of tourists placing significant pressure on urban heritage resources. It does not ignore the fact however that many heritage sites were urban sites historically, with architecture and infrastructure all squeezed into a small space. This means the issues of managing large numbers of tourists in small spaces not designed for this use at Angkor/Bagan are really no different than Bangkok or Yangon. The core issues that need to be confronted for the future of these cities are clearly analyzed and the authors address- * Cities that are above their ‘carrying capacity’ and the physical, social, psychological, ritual issues that follow alongside the poor handling of visitor management issues damaging both tangible and intangible heritage assets * The need for a management process very different from simply “hardening” of heritage to accommodate greater numbers * The need to move to stewardship rather than visitor management as the approach for the future * The ethical, social and regulatory issues surrounding the expropriation of heritage It will be essential reading for faculty, students, planners, urban policymakers and a range of tourism professionals concerned with the future of the heritage tourism industry.Table of ContentsIntroduction; About the authors; Ch 1 Responsible Tourism and the Conservation of Heritage in Asian Urban Areas; Ch 2 Challenges in Conserving and Managing Heritage in Asian Urban Areas; Ch 3 Managing Urban Heritage Areas in the Context of Sustainable Tourism: Heritage Conservation: The post-earthquake revitalization of Kotagede Heritage District, Yogyakarta; Passing the torch; The historic centre of Macao: Morphing into another shopping district; Surviving the Taj Mahal; A heritage area for Honolulu: A wonderful but premature idea; Phnom Penh: Opportunities lost and gained; Restoring the identity of the Bukchon heritage area of Seoul; Conservation of Mumbai’s community housing, Mumbai, India; Heritage and real estate: Conflicts of interest in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; Upgrading of roads to spread tourism benefits in the world heritage city of Vigan; Revitalization of Mei Ho House, Hong Kong; Japan Heritage: Unveiling forgotten histories and stories; Discovery of long-lost heritage sites, Jaipur, Rajasthan; Respecting the cultural layers: Hanoi, Vietnam; From appreciation to conservation; Working with Church Heritage Resources; Conserving Pulau Ubin for heritage, national identity and tourism, Singapore; Conflict between contemporary design and traditional culture in Macao; The eroding heritage interpretation potential of Vientiane, Lao PDR; Assessing the impact of the proposed metro, Pune, India; Co-curating with communities: A digital storytelling project; Heritage at risk from economic development in Najaf, Iraq; Tiger Balm Garden: The changing fortunes of Singapore’s pioneer cultural theme park; Managing Urban Heritage Areas in the Context of Sustainable Tourism: Tourism; Issues arising from the growth of tourism in Hoi An, Vietnam; Compromised integrity in Malacca, Malaysia; Depopulation and tourism: restoring heritage in Iya Valley, Japan; Gentrify and they will come?; Managing over-tourism: generating a master plan for the historic centre of Macau; Crisis in the management of the Penang Botanic Gardens, George Town, Malaysia; Lijiang: A belaguered beauty; Impacts of tourism on Old Phuket Town, Thailand; Cultural tourism in Amritsar – celebrating cultural diversity through conservation; How heritage trails affect historic cities, Lahore, Pakistan; Tourism risk preparedness, Kaesong, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; Heritage conservation and tourism development in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR; Chiang Mai: Slow city – no thanks; creative – yes; Conservation in Broken Hill, Australia; Livelihoods, tourism and heritage conservation in post-earthquake Kathmandu Valley; Towards sustainable cultural tourism in Chettinad, India; Ch 5 Managing Urban Heritage Areas in the Context of Sustainable Tourism: Planning and Management; A protection and management plan for the historic centre of Macao; Heritage management in the historic city of Jaipur, Rajasthan; The battle to conserve the Mumbai Mills; Ahmedabad’s urban renewal: a model for heritage conservation in India’s cities; ‘The Central Axis of Beijing’ should not be a World Heritage site; Conserving the Vernacular in Singapore; Chao Phraya Riverside, Bangkok: A contested cultural landscape; Ger area cultural heritage, tourism and community enhancement, Ulaanbaatar; Ch 6 Place Making in George Town, Malaysia; Ch 7 Creative District Bangkok: Changes at the Fringe; Ch 8 Urban Heritage Planning and Management in Asia: An integrated and responsible approach; Index

Birkhauser Sublime Visionen: Architektur in den Alpen
Book SynopsisIn the eighteenth century the Alps became the subject of a new view of nature, which crystallized in the sublime. Oscillating between fear and fascination, this sensual experience triggered a thrilling borderline experience: travelers ventured to the mountain world full of longing and projected a variety of different dreams onto the "wild nature" that had yet to be explored. To what extent has the sublime influenced architecture in the Alps, from the early days of tourism to the present? Prompted by this question, the author analyzes Alpine architecture in its historical context and offers a critical assessment of contemporary tourism. This is a book that inspires us to reflect on the future of building in the Alps and on our relationship with nature.

Birkhauser Sublimes Visions: Architectures dans les Alpes
Book SynopsisAu XVIIIe siècle, les Alpes ont donné lieu à une nouvelle forme de contemplation de la nature qui s’est cristallisée autour de la notion de sublime. Oscillant entre effroi et fascination, cet état émotionnel suscite une expérience limite avidement recherchée : pleins d’attentes et de désirs, les voyageurs se sont aventurés dans les montagnes pour projeter des rêves très différents sur cette « nature sauvage », encore inexplorée. Comment le sublime a-t-il influencé l’architecture construite dans les Alpes, des débuts du tourisme jusqu’à nos jours ? Guidée par cette question centrale, l’auteur analyse l’architecture alpine dans son évolution historique et propose également une approche critique du tourisme actuel. Un livre qui nous invite à réfléchir sur l’avenir de la construction dans les Alpes, mais aussi sur notre rapport à la nature.
