A new publication: INTEGRATING AIMS. BUILT HERITAGE IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Edited by Mikko Mälkki & Kaisa Schmidt-Thomé
Built heritage can have various kinds of roles in supporting favourable social and economic development. The publication approaches the issue of heritage in planning from both general and case-specific perspectives. The publication includes 15 articles, by altogether 22 authors from eight countries. The potentialities of heritage sites, as well as the practices and decision-making, are strongly context-specific. The studied settings share, however, a timely challenge: the need to communicate and collaborate across value systems. This is also where research has much to say in clarifying conflicting points of view. Promoting built heritage as a resource and creating a basis for true cooperation in these efforts requires understanding of not only the sites and objects, but also of the possible actors. How to find the most suitable role for heritage in different contexts? The publication aims at developing further the understanding of theory and practice of sustainable utilization of built heritage.
The book is available in electronic form at:
http://lib.tkk.fi/Reports/2010/isbn9789526032849.pdf
Printed versions distributed by the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, YTK, in Aalto University, Finland. Price 19 Euro + mailing costs. Contact: ytk-tilaus@tkk.fi or +358-50-512 4618
