Description
Book SynopsisThis new and substantially revised edition of
Heritage Planning: Principles and Process offers an extensive overview of the burgeoning fields of heritage planning and conservation. Positioning professional practice within its broader applied and theoretical contexts, the authors provide a firm foundation for understanding the principles, history, evolution, debates, and tools that inform heritage planning, while also demonstrating how to effectively enact these processes.
Few published works focus on the practice of heritage planning. The first edition of this book was developed to fill this gap, and this second edition builds upon it. The book has been expanded in scope to incorporate new research and approaches, as well as a wide range of international case studies. New themes reflect the emerging recognition that sustainability, climate resilience, human rights, social justice, and reconciliation are fundamental to the future of planning.

'Kalman and Létourneau’s revised Heritage Planning is an important work appearing at just the right time. This volume situates heritage conservation as a dynamic professional practice in contemporary society, while establishing clear and comprehensive frameworks for project-centered work.

The reach of examples is global; and it connects to issues of great urgency (sustainability, resilience, public health, indigenous societies). Practitioners and educators alike will find this an extremely valuable volume.'
