Safeguarding Cultural Landscape Heritage : The Legacies of Ken Taylor

This book revisits the last three decades of heritage management across the world with the use of cultural landscape methodology. In 1992, UNESCO adopted the concept of cultural landscape as a category of world heritage places. This change recognized that culture and nature intertwined to create unique human environments, demonstrating the utility of the concept in natural and cultural heritage management and widening the notion of heritage management thinking and practice. The volume investigates the issues and strategies related to the heritage management of cultural landscape heritage, revisiting in particular the scholarship and legacies of Dr Ken Taylor, who has led a quiet but remarkable intellectual effort to define the concept of cultural landscape and its application in heritage management, and to help develop the next generation of thinkers and practitioners in heritage management.
