Opis

The Industrial Heritage: Managing Resources and Uses is an integrated approach to the assessment, conservation, interpretation, financing and management for the complex heritage of industrial cultures. The authors (both active workers in the field) suggest that concepts of heritage defined to deal with pre-industrial cultures are of limited use in dealing with the very different demands presented by industrial objects and the societies which produced them. At the same time, because the impact of industrialization changes over time and within different societies, the authors have produced a comparative international survey, which looks at projects in many countries. They look in detail at the current revaluation of hitherto-ignored assets of industrial culture and assess their future viability. They also consider ways in which supprt and involvement can be obtained for industrial projects (drawing on a range of international examples) and also suggest how these programmes can be established and monitored.
