Opis

This book explores the way in which heritage is used to address social and economic change caused by deindustrialization and the ways in which regional identity has been renegotiated through heritage. It explores the local contexts and broader theoretical frameworks that have influenced the approaches taken to the industrial heritage in de-industrialised areas, and the extent to which it is utilised in defining regional identities.
