| Synopsis: |
By examining the revitalization of a number of historic urban quarters, this book synthesizes urban design and urban regeneration. It focuses on areas with significant concentrations of historic buildings; with places and area-based approaches. Such quarters confer a sense of place and identity through their historic continuity and cultural associations. Often integral elements of a city's charm and appeal, their visual and functional qualities are important elements of the city's image and identity.The lessons and observations from the experience of such quarters forms the core of this book with a range of case study examples from North America and Europe illustrating a variety of approaches to and outcomes of conserving, revitalizing and stewarding historic quarters. It contributes to the growing interest in the renaissance of city centers and city living. It embraces the role of architecture and planning in the creation of a fertile environment for living and working. |
