Historic Preservation in the USA

Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolving relationship between historic preservation and urban planning in the U.S. since the 1960s. It highlights how preservation has become a crucial component of urban development rather than just a nostalgic pursuit. Through an interdisciplinary analysis, it examines four historic districts in Philadelphia, Boston, Charleston, and Savannah, addressing the planning, economic, and social challenges inherent in preserving these areas.
