Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability

This book explores the relationships between heritage and sustainability in terms of both theory and practice. It examines the relationships between people and communities in the places where they live, and thus exemplifies the diverse ways in which heritage is used to forge identities and support and create memory, individually and collectively. The book encourages a view of heritage as a people-centred process and focuses on the aspects of cultural sustainability that help to support human well-being through socially- and culturally-sensitive policy and practice.
