"The Routledge Handbook on Historic Urban Landscapes in Asia-Pacific sheds light onto
the balancing act of urban heritage management, focusing specifically on the Asia-Pacific
regions in which this challenge is imminent and in need of effective solutions. Urban
heritage, while being threatened amidst myriad forces of global and ecological change,
provides a vital social, cultural, and economic asset for regeneration and sustenance
of liveability of inhabited urban areas worldwide. This six-part volume takes a critical
look at the concept of Historic Urban Landscapes, the approach that UNESCO promotes
to achieve holistic management of urban heritage, through the lens of issues, prospects,
and experiences of urban regeneration of the selected geo-cultural context. It further
discusses the difficult task that heritage managers encounter in conceptualizing,
mapping, curating, and sustaining the plurality, poetics, and politics of urban heritage
of the regions in question. The connective thesis that weaves the chapters in this
volume together reinforces for readers that the management of urban heritage considers
cities as dynamic entities, palimpsests of historical memories, collages of social
diversity, territories of contested identities, and sites for sustainable liveability.
Throughout this edited collection, chapters argue for recognizing the totality of
the eco-cultural urban fabric, embracing change, building social cohesion, and initiating
strategic socio-economic progress in the conservation of historic urban landscapes.
Containing thirty-six contributions written by leading regional experts, and illustrated
with over 200 black and white images and tables, this volume provides a much-needed
resource on historic urban landscapes for students, scholars and researchers"
