| Abstract |
"This multidisciplinary study integrates the disciplines of urban and public history, historic preservation, and critical heritage studies to explore urban, architectural and planning conservation in twentieth-century Australia. It examines the professional, governance, management, community, and intellectual processes, which transitioned values from the implied to the primary lens for assessing, managing, and interpreting heritage places. The aesthetic, architectural, historic, and social values attributed to existing settler-colonial urban environments shaped twentieth-century cities, whether modernisation, development and renewal, or retention, adaptation, and conservation. The book surveys the establishment of the Australian profession and the academic discipline of conservation, alongside architectural discourse and planning policy, and the heritage movement and community activism involving the National Trusts, resident bodies, and construction unions. A watershed for global conservation was symbolised by the development of the Australian values-based model and the ICOMOS Burra Charter (1979), national conservation guidelines based on the Venice Charter (1964). As the values-based model continues to shape conservation in Australia and across the world, this book is an essential reference for architecture, planning, construction, engineering, real estate, geography, archaeology, anthropology, and history"-- Provided by publisher. |
