Conservation in the Built Environment: Policy, Law and Practice - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Conservation is an increasingly important topic in many areas of the built environment. Concentrating mainly on England but with a United Kingdom perspective. Conservation in the Built Environment deals with all aspects of the built heritage: from principles, policy and legislation to project management, financial and appraisal issues, conservation philosophy and the sustainable management of the historic environment. It examines the principles of repair and conservation and relates policy and theory to practice by assessing the practical and professional considerations involved. The book further considers policy in the widest sense by covering the whole spectrum of the historic built environment: listed buildings, conservation areas, scheduled monuments and sites, archaeological remains, world heritage sites, historic parks and gardens and other aspects of the historic environment. This book is essential reading for students and practitioners in all built environment disciplines. This second edition is fully up-to-date in terms of legislation and policy for England and provides additional information on the other principalities of the United Kingdom as well as a new chapter on conservation funding. It refers to international conventions, charters and guidelines in this sphere and includes case studies to illustrate the complex problems encountered with sensitive historic sites.
