Bangkok.
This book was developed with the intent of guiding all stakeholders involved in
planning for historic cities in Asia to incorporate heritage conservation principles
into their work. The author uses both successful and unsuccessful examples
to demonstrate the validity of the principles proposed. Chapter 2 presents a
phase-by-phase summary of a methodology for the implementation of actions
with the intent of preserving the authenticity of historic districts. This methodology
is further developed in chapter 4, where the author proposes the “development
of a planning framework which ensures that new development reinforces
the sense of place (…)” (p. 7). This framework should reinforce characteristic
elements of the streetscape and encourage the use of traditional building materials.
Chapter 7 presents different ways in which legislation, or related building
design guidelines, can be used to protect the historic character of urban environments.
Chapter 10 is dedicated to explaining the benefits of implementing
design control in new developments, which can be done through design guidelines
and review boards. (A.P.A.G.)
