This new and substantially revised edition of Heritage Planning: Principles and Process offers an extensive overview of the burgeoning fields of heritage planning and conservation. Positioning professional practice within its broader applied and theoretical contexts, the authors provide a firm foundation for understanding the principles, history, evolution, debates, and tools that inform heritage planning, while also demonstrating how to effectively enact these processes.
Few published works focus on the practice of heritage planning. The first edition of this book was developed to fill this gap, and this second edition builds upon it. The book has been expanded in scope to incorporate new research and approaches, as well as a wide range of international case studies. New themes reflect the emerging recognition that sustainability, climate resilience, human rights, social justice, and reconciliation are fundamental to the future of planning.
Heritage Planning is indispensable reading, not only for professionals who transform the built environment, but for anyone who wants to understand the ideas and practices of heritage planning and conservation.
For the benefit of student readers, twelve chapters—designed to accommodate the academic semester—are augmented with concise summaries, key terms and definitions, questions, and learning objectives.
'Kalman and Létourneau’s revised Heritage Planning is an important work appearing at just the right time. This volume situates heritage conservation as a dynamic professional practice in contemporary society, while establishing clear and comprehensive frameworks for project-centered work. It manages to be a sophisticated scholarly treatment as well as a practical professional reference. The reach of examples is global; and it connects to issues of great urgency (sustainability, resilience, public health, indigenous societies). Practitioners and educators alike will find this an extremely valuable volume.'
—Randall Mason, Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
'The best book on built heritage planning just got better. Heritage Planning is extensively illustrated and packed with information for students and practitioners alike. The new edition is re-organized and augmented for classroom use, while retaining the global coverage and best practices that make it a valuable reference for heritage professionals.'
—David Gordon, School of Urban and Regional Planning, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario
'One of the key objectives of critical heritage studies has been to identify and consider the social, political and ethical implications of heritage planning and conservation practices. By contextualizing the practicalities of heritage planning within broader interdisciplinary debates, this important textbook will be an important resource for those working toward building more equitable and inclusive heritage practices.'
