Dr Sophia Labadi from the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies has co-edited a new book entitled Urban Heritage, Development, and Sustainability (Routledge, 2016) with Professor William Logan.
The book examines the impact of contemporary challenges such as population growth, mass tourism and unequal access to socio-economic opportunities on urban heritage. This volume analyses in particular current theories and practices in urban heritage, with particular reference to the conflict between, and potential reconciliation of, conservation and development goals. A global range of case studies detail a number of distinct practical approaches to heritage on international, national and local scales.
Contributions from an international group of authors, including practitioners as well as leading academics, deliver a broad and balanced coverage of this topic. Addressing the interests of both urban planners and heritage specialists, urban heritage, development and sustainability is an important addition to the field that will encourage further discourse.
