Containing research on sustainable urban redevelopment presented at the latest in a biennial series organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, this book addresses an area of growing interest. The conference series was first held in 2000. These proceedings are split into two volumes. Urban areas produce a series of environmental challenges arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution, contributing to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems, which continue to grow in our society, require the development of new solutions. Topics include: Volume I – Urban Strategies; Eco-town Planning; Planning, development and management; Planning, development and management for urban conservation and regeneration; Case studies; Landscape planning and design; Environmental management; Intelligent environments and emerging technologies. Volume II – Sustainable energy and the city; Waterfront developments; The community and the city; Quality of life; Cultural heritage issues; Transportation; Planning for risk; Planning for risk; Transport models in emergency conditions; Industrial wastes as raw materials; Waste management; Safety and security; The city heritage.

More than half of the world’s population now live in urban areas, and cities provide the setting for contemporary challenges such as population growth, mass tourism and unequal access to socio-economic opportunities. Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability examines the impact of these issues on urban heritage, considering innovative approaches to managing developmental pressures and focusing on how taking an ethical, inclusive and holistic approach to urban planning and heritage conservation may create a stronger basis for the sustainable growth of cities in the future. This volume is a timely analysis of current theories and practises 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. Chapters reveal the disjunctions between international frameworks and national implementation and assess how internationally agreed concepts can be misused to justify unsustainable practices or to further economic globalisation and political nationalism. The exclusion of many local communities from development policies, and the subsequent erosion of their cultural heritage, is also discussed, with the collection emphasising the importance of ‘grass roots’ heritage and exploring more inclusive and culturally responsive conservation strategies. 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.

This volume focuses on the implementation of the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL approach), designed to foster the integration of heritage management in regional and urban planning and management, and strengthen the role of heritage in sustainable urban development.Earlier publications and research looked at the underlying theory of why the HUL approach was needed and how this theory was developed and elaborated by UNESCO. A comprehensive analysis was carried out in consultation with a multitude of actors in the twenty-first-century urban scene and with disciplinary approaches that are available to heritage managers and practitioners to implement the HUL approach.This volume aims to be empirical, describing, analyzing, and comparing 28 cities taken as case studies to implement the HUL approach. From those cases, many lessons can be learned and much guidance shared on best practices concerning what can be done to make the HUL approach work.Whereas the previous studies served to illustrate issues and challenges, in this volume the studies point to innovations in regional and urban planning and management that can allow cities to avoid major conflicts and to further develop in competitiveness. These accomplishments have been possible by building partnerships, devising financial strategies, and using heritage as a key resource in sustainable urban development, to name but a few effective strategies.For these reasons, this volume is primarily pragmatic, linked to the daily work and challenges of practitioners and administrators, using specific cases to assess what was and is good about current practices and what can be improved, in accordance with the HUL approach and aims.

Abstract: Design Thesis: Sustainable Urban Conservation ---A Design Strategy for the Renewal of Zhongshan Road Historic Block in Quanzhou City Abstract In our modern cities we have lost sight of the traditional understanding of urban space. Fast, unconsidered urban construction simply demolished everything for new development, whatever in developed or under developed countries. Historic blocks, especially those located in the commercial district of city, are undergoing the destructive transformation. In recent years, public start to focus on conservation of unique characteristic of city and search of the vanished past. Along with the urban economic development and adjustment of industrial structure in China, a majority of conservation projects are combined with commercial development. It is a sustainable urban conservation discussed in thesis. Conservation can not be understood simply that conserving without any changes. If we just pay attention on the single heritage building only, cultural atmosphere and historical environment is different to conserve. Combining conservation of heritage buildings with redevelopment of adjacent areas is the effective method. Zhongshan Road Historic Block is a representative study area for achieving the target of thesis. The conservation principle and method of historic block in China has reviewed for design strategy. Especially, historic Block is different from Heritage Conservation Unit or Historical and Cultural City, it needs a sustainable plan to support itself because it always presents huge scale and quantity. From the case studies, it has provided the solutions for the study area in Quanzhou. Basing on the analysis of study issues of Zhongshan Road Historic Block, case study starts with two points: planning and architecture. Planning Quanzhou is a congregation zone with multi-religion, unique multi-culture is another valuable heritage except architectural. Conservation of Confucius Temple in Nanjing was implemented in protecting its cultural environment. The focus of case study is on its conservation method and treatment of cultural environment. Architecture Shophouse is one of architectural features in Quanzhou; it is a major element to contribute the commercial environment as well. Chinatown in Singapore also is a conservation area occupied by numbers of shophouses. The purpose of case study is to survey the relocation of shophouse function and solution to conflict problem between commercial and residential use. Melody, HUANG YANI, 2006990960 Design Thesis: Sustainable Urban Conservation ---A Design Strategy for the Renewal of Zhongshan Road Historic Block in Quanzhou City According to government's conservation proposal, conclusion of case studies and site analysis, overall design strategy is composed of conservation and redevelopment. Conservation Š Heritage buildings is exploited to constitute plaza and opened to public after restoring the buildings and relocating the function. Š Shophouses as a medium contribute to continue the traditional environment and supply services for heritage buildings and tourism development. Redevelopment Š New development is the primary factor for economic return except the shophouses which is small units for rental. But for conserving the total historic environment, n

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Sustainable Urban Conservation: The Role of Public Participation in the Conservation of Urban Heritage in Old Dhaka" Submitted by Sharif Shams Imon for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in June 2006. The study commences with the major premise that urban conservation, public participation and sustainable development are interrelated concepts and that public participation cannot be considered in isolation. Against this and the backdrop of claims by conservation experts that public participation in decision-making systems is important for the sustainable conservation of urban heritage, the study sets out to investigate how public participation can contribute to the urban conservation of Old Dhaka, the historic core of the capital of Bangladesh, and what the challenges are to doing so. While a number of studies have considered public participation in the context of urban development, few have done so within the context of urban conservation in developing countries. The study attempts to develop a relevant model for public participation in urban conservation. The study uses the grounded theory method. Data was collected through semi- structured interviews and observations, and from newspaper articles, government and academic studies, and other documentary sources. Case studies are extensively used. Both formal and informal decision-making systems related to urban conservation at relevant levels were studied, including (1) semi-structured interviews with 77 randomly selected residents from three selected Old Dhaka neighbourhoods and (2) open-ended interviews with 25 key individuals from relevant local and government bodies. To understand the power relationships in decision-making systems, a number of cases at both the city level and community level were studied. Collected data were analysed by the constant comparative method and by content analysis. Findings from the study support the commonly-held understanding that the public's capacity to make better decisions affects urban conservation outcomes. It was found, however, that this capacity is influenced by two factors. Firstly, it depends on legal provision for public participation and supportive institutional and administrative government frameworks. Secondly, it depends on the level of social capital present in the society. The study found that the level of social capital in the three Old Dhaka communities studied varies and affects the capacity of the community accordingly. Regarding urban conservation, the study revealed that while the existing level of social capital is adequate for solving intramural problems, it is inadequate for problems caused by external forces. It was found that all three communities lack links to outside networks and this prevents them from influencing decisions made outside of their communities. Based on the findings, an iterative model for public participation is proposed that focuses on two levels of participation. At the city or regional level, legal provision for the public to participate in decision-making and an enabling institutional and administrative structure are proposed. At the community level, development of an intercommunity network is suggested. Because of the limited capacity of the communities to make changes, government and, more importantly, civil society need to play a more active role. It is hoped that

Including papers presented at the 11th International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability held in Alicante, Spain, this book addresses the multidisciplinary aspects of urban planning; a result of the increasing size of cities, the amount of resources and services required and the complexity of modern society. Most of the earth’s population live in cities and the process of urbanisation continues generating problems originating from the drift of the population towards them. These problems can be resolved by cities becoming efficient habitats, saving resources in a way that improves the standard of living. The process faces a number of challenges related to reducing pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems and these challenges can contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances and require the development of new solutions. Large cities are probably the most complex mechanisms to manage, nevertheless they represent a productive ground for architects, engineers, city planners, social and political scientists able to conceive new ideas and time them according to technological advances and human requirements. The papers in this book cover such topics as: Appropriate technologies for smart cities; Architectural issues; Case studies - sustainable practices; Cultural quarters and interventions; Disaster and emergency response; Eco-town planning; Environmental management; Landscape planning and design; Planning for resilience; Quality of life; Socio-economic and political considerations; Pedestrians behaviour in different situation of traffic, modelling and safety; Sustainable urban regeneration and public space; City and beach; Sustainability and the built environment; Sustainable energy and the city; The community and the city; Transportation; Urban conservation and regeneration; Urban development and management; Urban infrastructure; Urban metabolism; Urban planning and design; Urban safety and security; Urban strategies; Waterfront development.

Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through examples from across Europe and further afield and relates them to the sustainability agenda.
