Urban Conservation Policy Development: Character Appraisal and Analysis
This paper addresses the widespread concern regarding the need to achieve a reconciliation between the desire to conserve our historic cities and the pressures for change that they face. It considers the nature of the recent responses to this situation and concludes that they can be criticized both conceptually and practically. An alternative approach drawing on techniques of urban morphological analysis is suggested and demonstrated using a case study of Chester city centre. This focuses on an analysis of three-dimensional urban form and the interacting social, economic and historical processes involved in its generation. Whilst testing and refinement of this postulation is required before its use in practice might be considered, the benefits of adopting such a structured and rational approach should be considerable.
