Product Description

Product Description
In cities around the world, urban culture is threatened as commercial pressures overwhelm concerns for architectural integrity. Recognizing that isolated efforts at architectural renovation do not automatically restore the historic integrity of cities, planners are now seeking new methods and tools to save the structure and history of cities. In this book, Nahoum Cohen establishes the emerging discipline of urban conservation as crucial to the future of urban planning and to the survival of cities into the 21st century. The author examines such cities as Athens, Budapest, Istanbul, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Paris, Rome, San Francisco, Sofia, Tel Aviv and Vienna, as well as Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and European archaeological sites. He shows how preservation is the direct result of urban conservation and how it is enhanced by in-depth knowledge of city structure and history.
