This book synthesizes urban design and urban regeneration by examining the revitalization of a number of historic urban quarters. Its focus is on quarters or areas where there is a significant number of historic buildings concentrated in a small area; with places and area-based approaches. Many cities have such quarters that confer on them a sense of place and identity through their historic continuity and cultural associations. The quarters are often an integral element of the citys image and identity. The lessons and observations from the experience of the revitalization of such historic urban quarters forms the core ofthis book with a number of case study examples from North America and Europe showing a variety of approaches to and outcomes of revitalization.

Game-Changing Piece of ResearchBy Dr. Laurence RawWritten by a leading scholar in contemporary adaptation studies; this book sums up contemporary debates in the field; as well as offering new paths for the future. Leitch believes in the power of what he describes as critical literacy - the ability of learners of adaptation; as well as professional adapters; to develop themselves through the act of adapting and transforming texts. Would that his dictum could be taken up and used to transform humanities education; especially at the higher education level.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. fast shipping.By Bess Northi need it ; I love this product.
