Description

Conserving the Historic Environment by John Pendlebury and Jules Brown provides a grounding for planners and professionals in key conservation concepts. This book sets out the values and principles underlying current conservation-planning systems, explaining their historic context and evolution, before critically examining these systems and possible counter approaches. The authors illustrate their points with examples of historic and modern buildings, conservation areas, world heritage sites, parks, and gardens. The book then focuses on decision-making and managing change, discussing how the conservation of the historic environment has become linked to other social and economic policy objectives. Key lessons and implications for future policy development and planning practice are identified, making this a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the principles of conservation and apply them in practice.
