Description
From the General Introduction : This dissertation is... about urban planning and design as well as it is about people, history and place. Urban planning and design are linked, as people history and place are. Boundaries between planning and design are considered to be contingent, dependent on context and culture, result of ever renewed negotiations. The triad of history, people and place holds central place in the book. We intend to explore the relations between them, in order to answer our reasearch question : how can history, historical knowledge and historical objects, play a positive role in urban planning and design?
We intend to show that answering this question requires a careful scrutiny of history, people and place. Using history implies there is a goal to reach. What could the use of history be? We want to assume - and this is an assumption - that history can be useful in planning and design and that we just have to investiage carefully what this use might be. In this book history can mean old things and places, under and above the ground, visible and invisible, it can refer to characteristics of a given place and to stories attached to a place. History is simply the past of people.
