Publisher's Synopsis
Conservation and the Changing Urban Landscape deals with several aspects of changing urban form in recognised historical areas. A discussion of the changing social, legal and administrative trends of the past century that have culminated in the present-day high profile of the conservation movement, and which have shaped the nature of that movement, precedes a detailed examination of changes in both selected historical town centres and mature residential areas. The pressure for, and nature of, change in these historical areas is discussed, and the reaction of the planning system to change is examined.
