Industrial heritage sites in transformation: clash of discourses
In: Routledge studies in heritage 6
"The management of industrial heritage sites requires rethinking in the context of urban change, and the issue of how to balance protection, preservation/conservation, and development becomes all the more crucial as industrial heritage sites grow in number. This brings into play new challenges--not only through the known conflicts between monument preservation and contemporary architecture, but also with the increasing demand for economic urban development by reusing the built heritage of former industrial sites. This book explores the conservation and change of industrial heritage sites in transformation, presenting and examining ten European and Asian case studies. The interdisciplinary approach of the book connects a diversity of rationales and discourses, including monument protection, World Heritage conventions, urban regeneration, urban planning and design, architecture, and politics. This is the first book to deepen the understanding of industrial heritage site management as a networked, multi-dimensional task involving diverse social agents and societal discourses. "--
Securing urban heritage: agents, access, and securitization
In: Routledge Studies in Heritage 15
Securing Urban Heritage: Agents, Access, and Securitization
Securing Urban Heritage considers the impact of securitization on access to urban heritage sites. Demonstrating that symbolic spaces such as these have increasingly become the location of choice for the practice and performance of contemporary politics in the last decade, the book shows how this has led to the securitization of urban public space. Highlighting specific changes that have been made, such as the installation of closed-circuit television or the limitation of access to certain streets, plazas and buildings, the book analyses the impact of different approaches to securitization. Claiming that access to heritage sites is a precursor to an informed and thorough understanding of heritage, the editors and contributors to this volume argue that new forms of securing urban heritage, including community involvement and digitalization, offer possibilities for the protection and use of urban heritage. Looking more closely at the versatile relationship between access and securitization in this context, the book provides a theoretical framework for the relationship between urban heritage and securitization. Comparing case studies from cities in Angola, Bulgaria, Eritrea, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Suriname, Sweden, Turkey, UK, and the US, the book reveals some of the key mechanisms that are used to regulate access to heritage sites around the world. Providing much-needed insight into the diverse challenges of securitization for access and urban heritage, Securing Urban Heritage should be essential reading for academics, students, and practitioners from the fields of heritage and urban studies, architecture, art history, conservation, urban planning, and urban geography.
From wastelands to waiting lands: retrieving possibility from the voids of Berlin
In debates urban wastelands can appear caught between stigmatisation and romanticisation, viewed either as blight or obscure opportunity. How can we conceive of these spaces in a more productive, yet contingent, way? This article examines the political and conceptual meanings of urban voids and explores their significance to understandings of cities and urban development. To emphasise the ways in which voids are mobilised for particular agendas, the article shows how professional and political lenses on the 'city' become entangled with these spaces and generate exclusions and contradictions. This is illustrated through a discussion of emblematic voids in Berlin and the ways in which they are made legible in relation to wider socio-political objectives. Taking inspiration from Walter Benjamin's notion of the wish image, voids are seen to become subject to utopian wishes for the city. Projecting desires onto these voids, city lenses mobilise support for broader wishes for the city, whilst never fully realising them. To usefully consider the relations between voids, cities and citizens, we draw on German debates to think of voids as Brachen, meaning fallow or waiting lands, where absences of urbanisation offer a moment of pause to reveal the diverse wish images involved in the making of cities. As waiting land, the void asks questions of urbanites: for what purpose is it waiting, how should it be (re-)related to the city and who should be responsible?

Metropole Berlin: die Wiederentdeckung der Industriekultur
In: Neue Berliner Beiträge zur Technikgeschichte und Industriekultur Band 5
Berlin ist auch die Hauptstadt der Industriekultur! Die Gründung Groß-Berlins im Jahr 1920 reagierte unmittelbar auf die umwälzende industrielle Dynamik des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts und hat die Metropole Berlin maßgeblich geprägt. Dieses Buch spürt den sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Spuren der Berliner Industriekultur nach und erzählt von technologischen Innovationen, von Gründergeist und Pionieren. Zugleich stellt es die Frage, wie Berlin das Potenzial seiner Industriekultur zukünftig besser nutzen kann. "Sehr informativ ist das Buch dann, wenn über aktuelle Vermittlungsangebote des Berliner Zentrums Industriekultur berichtet wird. Neben einem immer vollständigerem online-Angebot werden ähnlich wie bei der erfolgreichen "Route der Industriekultur" in NRW bis Ende 2021 fünf Radrouten entwickelt, die via App, Ausschilderung und Radkarte "Stadtgeschichte aus dem Blickwinkel ihrer industriellen Entwicklung erlebbar machen". Die Radkarte der Route 1 zum Thema "Warmes Licht und kühles Bier" ist dem Buch schon beigeheftet" (kunstbuchanzeiger.de)
Open heritage: community-driven adaptive reuse in Europe: best practice
Developing cultural heritage in a more sustainable way. New approaches and examples from practice. "Open Heritage" is a response to the urgent need for a more open definition of cultural heritage, of the parties involved in protecting and maintaining it, and of the relevant planning processes in order to ensure the sustainable reuse of cultural heritage in times of climate change, social inequality and social plurality. This book introduces in a clear and systematic manner the results of the EU-funded OpenHeritage project, which examined best practices in different European countries. It focuses on the idea of inclusive heritage management based on community-driven processes. It is designed to act as a guide for anyone involved in planning, researching, and deciding on the further development and use of cultural heritage. Systematic presentation of the results of the EU-funded project OpenHeritage A collection of different approaches to assessing the social impact of bottom-up cultural heritage reuse projects Presentation of numerous methods derived from OpenHeritage case studies and other European initiatives
Continuity and Change: Socio-Spatial Practices in Bamberg's World Heritage Urban Horticulture
In: Urban Planning, Band 8, Heft 1, S. 39-51
The German city of Bamberg offers lessons in how continuity and change interact within the context of the inner-urban land use of commercial horticulture, thereby informing sustainable urban transformations in historic cities. The case of Bamberg shows that urban food production is not just well-established, but a consistent and centuries-old cultural structure that influences the fabric of today's city. In this article, we discuss what forms of urban horticulture (and thus also food production) are evident from Bamberg's past and which may prevail in the future. Two questions structure our analysis. First, how are historical sites and spatial structures of horticulture shaped in the tension between continuity and change? Second, which practices/forms of urban horticulture are taken up and how are they updated by which actors? Both the heritage and contemporary practices of urban horticulture, it is argued, can be conceived of as a resource to create sustainable places and ways of life for citizens. Two new contributions result from this work. First, the article highlights the ongoing cultural heritage dimensions of urban horticulture in a field still dominated by eco-technical contributions associated with post-industrial innovation in urban planning; in this respect, heritage should be recognised as a dynamic that shapes urban change. In addition, secondly, the application of Luhmannian concepts of evolution in social systems reinforces the interdependence of continuity and change in urban settings.
Historische Industriekomplexe in der Stadt
Das Buch greift die enge Verknüpfung von Industrialisierung und Urbanisierung auf, die in den letzten gut 250 Jahren Europas Städte und ihre Stadtbaugeschichte maßgeblich geprägt hat. Damit stellen sich auch vielfältige Fragen und Aufgaben für die Denkmalpflege. Die Habilitationsschrift leistet einen Beitrag, um die stadtbaugeschichtlichen und stadtbildprägenden Werte historischer Industriekomplexe zu erkennen und zu erhalten. Wie können wir die industriellen Stadtlandschaften erfassen? Wie gestalten wir Umnutzungen und Konversionen denkmalgerecht und beziehen im Rahmen eines Heritage-Managements Aspekte der nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung ein?
