"Management Planning for Cultural Heritage challenges traditional perceptions of and about the heritage planning process, whilst also presenting a comprehensive analysis of the ever-widening field of Cultural Heritage Conservation. Drawing on the authors' experience teaching and involved in international practice, the book examines the changes that are taking place in modes of thinking about heritage as part of increasingly complex urban transformations, and considers how these must engage with, and inform, professional practice. The book also acknowledges that international best practice has developed a great deal over the last forty years and needs to be adapted, applied and refined through the recognition and application of regional values - tangible and intangible - based on cultural attitudes and practices. Emphasising the critical role of heritage planning and management in guiding change, Taylor and Verdini argue that this is especially critical if we are to safeguard values, identity and significance. In this sense, heritage is understood not only as a technical process, but as a social construct. The book therefore promotes a people-centred approach to cultural heritage management. Management Planning for Cultural Heritage will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners working in heritage studies and conservation. Whilst the text has professional application, it also sets out to present a sound theoretical foundation relevant to the body of knowledge associated with management of cultural heritage places"--

This paper attempts to analyse the particular features of Chinese clustering in two southern European cities and the urban regeneration responses employed in the decade 2005-2015: Prato in Italy and Santa Coloma de Gramenet in Spain, which are among the cities with the highest rate of Chinese in-migration within their respective countries. The main aim is to show which urban regeneration policies have been adopted in both contexts and to evaluate, in comparative terms, how they have addressed the two local Chinese communities. The paper will argue that their form of clustering, developed since the 1990s, has featured a certain degree of social segregation and tensions with local communities. On the other hand, they have become two dynamic urban nodes in supra-local business networks, possibly demanding new forms of engagement in the governance system. The results show that the urban regeneration policies in place have partially failed to acknowledge the changing nature of their form of clustering, with the risk to exacerbate existing conflicts and to prevent beneficial mutual collaborations. ; Aquest treball analitza les característiques particulars de les comunitats xineses en dues ciutats del sud d'Europa i les propostes de regeneració urbana que s'han dut a terme en la dècada 2005-2015. Prato a Itàlia i Santa Coloma de Gramenet a Espanya es troben entre les ciutats amb major percentatge d'immigració xinesa en els seus respectius països. L'objectiu principal és mostrar quines polítiques de regeneració urbana s'han adoptat en els dos contextos i avaluar, en termes comparatius, com s'han dirigit a les dues comunitats xineses locals. L'article exposarà que la seva forma de comunitat, desenvolupada des dels anys noranta, ha comportat un cert grau de segregació social i de tensions amb les comunitats locals. D'altra banda, s'han convertit en dos nodes urbans dinàmics dins de les xarxes empresarials supralocals, que possiblement exigeixen noves formes de participació en el sistema de governança. Els resultats mostren que les polítiques de regeneració urbana en marxa han fallat parcialment a l'hora de reconèixer la naturalesa canviant de les seves comunitats, amb el risc d'exacerbar els conflictes existents i obstaculitzar col·laboracions beneficioses mútues. ; Este trabajo analiza las características particulares de las comunidades chinas en dos ciudades del sur de Europa y las propuestas de regeneración urbana que se han llevado a cabo en la década 2005-2015.

L'objectif principal est de montrer quelles politiques de régénération urbaine ont été adoptées dans les deux contextes et d'évaluer, en termes comparatifs, comment elles ont tenu compte des deux communautés chinoises locales. L'article montrera comment leur forme de communauté, développée depuis les années 90, a comporté un certain degré de ségrégation sociale et de tensions avec les communautés locales. D'autre part, elles sont devenues deux noyaux urbains dynamiques dans les réseaux d'entreprises supra-locaux, exigeant peut-être de nouvelles formes d'engagement dans le système de gouvernance. Les résultats montrent que les politiques de régénération urbaine en place ont partiellement échoué à reconnaître la nature changeante de leurs communautés, avec le risque d'exacerber les conflits existants et d'empêcher des collaborations mutuelles bénéfiques.

Introduction Background to this Workshop This Workshop is organised as part of an EU-funded Network (COST Action)1: INTREPID – whose objective is to inspire change in how we understand knowledge and build leadership for interdisciplinarity http://www.intrepid-cost.eu/. INTREPID addresses 3 challenges: • Challenge 1 – Understand Change: Reflecting and Learning • Challenge 2 – Critical Mass: Building Networks and Cooperation • Challenge 3 – Enable Change: Enabling interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. It has been exploring the discourse and practice of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity (ID and TD)2 in research policy, programming and funding in the EU and its member states, and has been looking specifically into the obstacles to, and enablers of, ID and TD in urbanrelated research. This Network is funded for four years. We are now entering the last two and, one of the next tasks is to reflect on "The Future of Academia and Universities: as if ID and TD mattered" (INTREPID Futures Initiative). The idea is to make a contribution over the next two years, towards shaping the space and terms of knowledge production in a way that enables more sustainable urban futures. Thus, we will engage with the future of academia and universities from the perspective of urban studies and urban-related research. Aim of the London Workshop This London Workshop is meant to advance the agenda of "Universities and Knowledge for Sustainable Urban Futures: as if ID and TD mattered", by helping us to define the scope of our contribution, and of the activities we might fund for 2017-2019. Intention statement: 'To contribute to the shaping of tomorrow's universities & their urban curricula: as if inter and transdisciplinary ways of knowing actually mattered'. For this purpose, the Workshop was a one-day gathering of experts and practitioners with diverse experience and disciplinary backgrounds. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
