In recent decades significant financial and professional resources have been invested
in urban regeneration, housing renovation, and the revitalization of old
neighborhoods, with considerable impacts on the social, physical, and economic
structure of cities and their inhabitants.
The first objective of this volume is to present the key issues related to these
changes, which were discussed at an international symposium of experts organized
by the International Association for People-Environment Studies and CSBE Network
in Istanbul. The second objective is to show how concepts and methods in the field
of people-environment studies can be successfully applied to study complex questions
related to the revitalization of the built environment, both at the small scale
of specific buildings and at the larger scale of neighborhoods.
The contributions in this volume are centered around the following main themes:
• Key issues concerning heritage and cultural identity
• The institutional, economic, and political contexts of revitalization
• Implementation and how to address the key challenges
This volume will be useful to researchers, graduate students, teachers, and professional
practitioners in housing design and construction, the maintenance and
upgrading of existing buildings and urban areas, conservation management, and
the broad field of housing studies. The book is pertinent to people trained in environmental
psychology, social policy studies, architecture, urban design, urban
sociology, human geography, and building and landscape conservation.
Zielgruppe
For researchers, graduate students, teachers, and practitioners in housing design
and construction, the maintenance and upgrading of existing buildings and urban
areas, conservation management, and the broad field of housing studies.
