Anotace knihy

This is an Open Access book. Building on research initiated by scholars from the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Center for Global Heritage and Development (CHGD) and ICOMOS, this book presents multidisciplinary research that connects water to heritage. Through twenty-one chapters it explores landscapes, cities, engineering structures, and buildings from around the world. It describes how people have actively shaped the course, form, and function of water for human settlement and the development of civilizations, establishing socio-economic structures, policies, and cultures; a rich world of narratives, laws, and practices; and an extensive tangible network of infrastructure, buildings, and urban form. The book is organized in five thematic sections that link practices of the past to the design of the present and visions of the future: part I discusses drinking water management; part II addresses water use in agriculture; part III explores water management for land reclamation and defense; part IV examines river and coastal planning; and part V focuses on port cities and waterfront regeneration. Today, the many complex systems of the past are necessarily the basis for new systems that both preserve the past and manage water today: policy makers and designers can work together to recognize and build on the traditional knowledge and skills that old systems exemplify/embody. This book argues that there is a need for a common agenda and an integrated policy that addresses the preservation, transformation, and adaptive reuse of historic water-related structures. Throughout, it imagines how such efforts will help us develop sustainable futures for cities, landscapes, and bodies of water.
