Revitalizing Urban Historic Quarters

Successful regeneration means bringing social, economic and environmental life back to an area, it transforms places, strengthens communities and creates attractive places which encourage sustained inward investment. This book examines the revitalization of a number of historic urban quarters, focusing on areas with significant concentrations of historic buildings. Examples from North America and Europe illustrate a variety of approaches, each with their own observations and lessons to be learned.

The book will be of interest to students on Town Planning, Urban Design, Built Environment and Architecture courses. It will be essential reading for postgraduate students specialising in this area on Urban Design and Regeneration courses. Professional architects, planners and building conservators working on regeneration projects will find the case studies extremely informative.
