Conservation of Heritage
Cities are dynamic entities that
experiences expansion, development,
renewal and redevelopment. The
tasks of the professionals are not
limited to integration of the built
heritage with the urban planning /
development framework but also to
exclusively promote and practice
conservation, restoration,
regeneration and management of
valuable built heritage in Indian cities.
A comprehensive approach to
heritage management that
demonstrates economic efficiency,
creative vigour and peoples'
participation is the need of the hour
for there are many cities in India that
abounds in precious built heritage
that is either neglected or at the
mercy of unplanned urban
development.
