Heritage Narratives and Experiences. Exploring Conservation, Tourism, and City Identity in Historical Urban Contexts.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Author: Tianchen Dai<\/p>\n

This book examines how visitors, researchers, and authorities perceive the value, authenticity, and atmosphere of heritage in historical cityscapes. It analyzes the narratives created by corresponding stakeholders and sheds light on how such perceptions influence decision-making regarding heritage management, heritage consumption, and the formation of the city's image.<\/p>\n

What makes this volume particularly distinctive is its unique narrative approach, which is used to understand the experiences of visitors, opinions of researchers, and standpoints of authorities. It provides a fresh perspective for negotiating heritage values in historical urban contexts.<\/p>\n

Exploring the complex realm of historical urban landscapes, from waterfront cities to port cities, the book provides an extensive examination of the current state of heritage designation, conservation, and consumption in urban areas, as well as their effects on tourist experiences and the challenges faced by heritage in the pursuit of sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
