Conservation and the City is a study of conservation and change throughout the built environment - city centres, suburbs, even villages - and how the activities of conservation interact with the planning system. The book seeks to explore why and what change occurs, and who proposes and controls change, in areas of townscape that have been identified as worth conserving. Examining the key social, economic, and psychological ideas which support conservation, the book discusses various countries' conservation planning systems and the fundamental ideas that act as precendents to guide future practice. Looking at the urban landscapes produced by the processes of conservation, the book focuses on the agents responsible for change and questions what is going on in conserved areas and who is doing it.
