“…within the existing state heritage and planning frameworks. The project was more successful in terms of community engagement with heritage places and cultural change in favour of broader heritage priorities within the municipality(Fayad and Buckley 2019); and, potentially, paving the way for a nomination of the Victorian Goldfields to the World Heritage List.Case studies such as Ballarat and the NSW Heritage Act 1977 review point to the urgent need to interrogate the assumptions underlying legislation and policy, to stress-test frameworks and approaches for the twenty-first century, and to evolve policy and legislation for present-day urban priorities and heritage approaches. Instead of adopting a proactive and innovative approach to heritage policymaking, jurisdictions have weakened existing protections, eroded the independence of advisory bodies, and increased ministerial intervention.…”

“…Ballarat's implementation of HUL shortly after its endorsement by UNESCO was spurred on by a rapid population growth the city has been experiencing over the past last decade or so, coupled with predictions that this growth will continue in the decades to come. As such, changes in the city's demographics, and its physical, cultural, social and political landscape were poignant discussion points in the community and local government when HUL was introduced in 2013 (Fayad & Buckley, 2019). There was also a 'site-by-site battle' for preservation or development, representing an all-ornothing approach to heritage conservation which put development and preservation against each other.…”

“…An important part of the HUL process is community involvement and consultation (The HUL Guidebook, 2016). Understanding what is valuable about a place, from the perspective of the community that lives, works, and plays there, enables planners to set priorities and goals for the future of the area (Fayad & Buckley, 2019).…”

Layering History: Applying the Historic Urban Landscape Approach to the New Zealand Context

The housing crisis is a significant contemporary issue in New Zealand that is particularly contentious in areas of significant heritage value. While current heritage management systems in New Zealand present development as a threat to heritage, recent advancements in heritage management theory present an alternative perspective. The Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach is a theoretical and methodological framework that presents the urban landscape as a result of the layering of events and meanings imprinted on the environment over time, which collectively result in the environment experienced today. As such, heritage is considered an integral part of the urban landscape, and instrumental in guiding urban development towards a sustainable future, as opposed to being a barrier to it. This thesis presents the HUL approach as a viable solution to address the housing crisis in New Zealand.This research tests the effects of the Historic Urban Landscape approach on the housing and social needs of an urban community, by implementing an adaptation of the framework’s recommended methodology within the inner-city suburb of Mount Cook, Wellington. As the HUL approach is primarily used by local governments as a long-term strategising tool, this thesis develops a master plan, subsequent Character guides and finally a conceptual architectural intervention on a key site in the suburb, to exemplify how HUL could be implemented within a New Zealand context, and what the effects of this might be in the urban environment. The research found that the implementation of the Historic Urban Landscape approach is a viable option for meeting the housing and social needs of urban communities throughout New Zealand. It guides the development of housing and other amenities within the historic urban landscape in a way that is simultaneously sympathetic to the site and addresses the needs of the community, in a way that comprehensively and sensitively responds to the unique contexts of the historic urban landscape in question.

Adaptive Reuse of Cultural Heritage

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The adaptive reuse of cultural heritage is a heritage conservation and urban development strategy that supports circularity in the built environment. A human-centred circular city approach that places cultural heritage adaptive reuse at the core of the transition to circular economy takes into account complex values inherent in cities and their heritage as part of the circular economy agenda. To better understand the challenges to adaptive reuse processes and practices in order to come up with the best solutions and recommendations, the local, regional and national stakeholders involved in the decision-making processes for adaptive reuse policies and practices were consulted to identify the main barriers to adaptive reuse, suggested solutions and to formulate a multi-level toolkit and policy enablers to facilitate and accelerate adaptive reuse in local contexts. This knowledge base thus has a dual purpose: to inform the formulation of the circular instruments and models, and to constitute the first step to formulate policy-related enablers and strategies to tackle these barriers at local, regional, national and global levels. The main barriers to adaptive reuse identified predominantly focus on governance-related issues, followed closely by economic, social, and legislative barriers. The underlying parameters of the identified barriers also served as an initiative for formulating policy solutions and a complex set of toolkit recommendations to tackle these challenges. We identified 18 policy enablers that can be adopted at European, national, and local levels. By raising awareness and building consensus on barriers among relevant actors involved in adaptive reuse, this research also promotes the transition towards a proactive attitude in adaptive reuse practices worldwide.
