'Kalman and Letourneau's revised Heritage Planning is an important work appearing at just the right time. This volume situates heritage conservation as a dynamic professional practice in contemporary society, while establishing clear and comprehensive frameworks for project-centered work. It manages to be a sophisticated scholarly treatment as well as a practical professional reference. The reach of examples is global; and it connects to issues of great urgency (sustainability, resilience, public health, indigenous societies). Practitioners and educators alike will find this an extremely valuable volume.' -Randall Mason, Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 'The best book on built heritage planning just got better. Heritage Planning is extensively illustrated and packed with information for students and practitioners alike. The new edition is re-organized and augmented for classroom use, while retaining the global coverage and best practices that make it a valuable reference for heritage professionals.' -David Gordon, School of Urban and Regional Planning, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario 'One of the key objectives of critical heritage studies has been to identify and consider the social, political and ethical implications of heritage planning and conservation practices. By contextualizing the practicalities of heritage planning within broader interdisciplinary debates, this important textbook will be an important resource for those working toward building more equitable and inclusive heritage practices.' -Laurajane Smith, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, Australian National University, Canberra Kalman and Letourneau's revised Heritage Planning is an important work appearing at just the right time.
