The equity principle of sustainable development necessitates that citizens hold the right to participate in the cultural economy of a place, requiring that inhabitants and other stakeholders are consulted on processes of continuity or transformation. However, aspirations of cultural exchange do not translate in practice. Equity in Heritage Conservation takes the UNESCO World Heritage City of Ahmedabad, India, as the foundational investigation into the realities of cultural heritage conservation and management. It contextualises the question of heritage by citing places, projects and initiatives from other cities around the world to identify issues, processes and improvements. Through illustrated chapters it discusses the understanding of heritage in relation to the sustainable development of living historic cities, the viability of specific measures, ethics of engagement and recommendations for governance. This book will appeal to a range of scholars interested in cultural heritage conservation and management, sustainable development, urban and regional planning, and architecture Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Architecture -- Conservation and restoration -- India -- Ahmadābād Architecture and society -- India -- Ahmadābād Cultural property -- Protection -- India -- Ahmadābād Sustainable urban development -- India -- Ahmadābād ARCHITECTURE -- Adaptive Reuse & Renovation.
