Course Introduction |
|
Historic Asian cities are often regarded as the cradle of civilization and have played a vital role in the development of human societies. in the past few decades, cities across Asia have been experiencing tremendous transformations in their social, cultural, and economic structures due to an unprecedented rate of urbanization and rural-urban migration. even as millions living in these cities currently enjoy a share of ‘progress,’ they are nevertheless under the constant threat of destruction. what is at stake is the erasure of the cultural endowments and values of various communities, and the rapid and irreversible alteration of the character of inner-city neighborhoods – these have repercussions on how people live and work, and on the preservation of urban fabric. to that end, we prepare our students with historical perspectives, cultivate intellectual tools, and acquire practical design and conservation skills to manage conservation projects of different scales and context. our students will understand that the most pressing urban heritage management challenges cannot be solved by a single discipline but requires interdisciplinary collaborations across professions and key stakeholders. |
