Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This project will develop a joint networking and advanced research programme on critical issues of planning, management and urban heritage that will strengthen research partnerships between European and Chinese partners. This aim will be achieved by short and longer-term periods of staff exchanges and networking activities between the participants, each a prestigious research institution. In total 79 researchers will undertake 215 months of exchange.
The ultimate goal of this project is to achieve more rapid progress in advancing current knowledge, both conceptually and in terms of practical strategies of management, of the challenges of managing heritage as part of a wider process of spatial planning in the very different contexts provided by Europe and China. Its focus is the role of heritage in continuity and change in the city and region. Urban areas are the critical sphere of investigation as it is cities and urban regions that are subject to the greatest pressures for change and transformation and conflict and potential complementarity with heritage protection most acute. Europe and China are, broadly speaking, polar examples of the rate of urban change. In Europe the pace of urban change, in part due to heritage designation, is often very slow and we maybe building up a “heritage time-bomb”. In China, by contrast, urban change is an astonishingly rapid process, with the risk of heritage erasure. Each of the participating organisations has expertise in these areas and each is a geographical location that presents rich empirical case studies to explore.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Change in European cities and urban regions has come along slowly as a result of their rich history. An EU-funded initiative is looking into ways of striking a balance between heritage and urban progress.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
In Europe, the speed of urban development contrasts greatly with that of China. Europe's rate is slow due to its wide range of heritage assets. On the contrary, China's pace is rapid at the expense of heritage.
The main aim of the 'Planning, urban management and heritage' (PUMAH) project is to enrich existing knowledge on heritage management strategies with respect to spatial planning in Chinese and European settings.
Consortium members have started exploring Chinese and European case studies. The emphasis is on urban centres that are under the greatest threat of change and situations where there is a clash between growth and heritage protection.
Several joint network activities have been carried out in the form of meetings, workshops and staff exchanges. Researchers are preparing to publish Chinese and English articles in industry journals on the function of energy and carbon use in historic locations.
This knowledge transfer across vital development, operation and urban heritage arguments is expected to bolster the partnership among prominent Chinese and European research institutions.
In the project's capacity as a research programme, the training of doctoral students is also an important component.
PUMAH efforts will continue to intensify and strengthen cooperation by launching joint activities and strengthening the dissemination of heritage research. Outcomes will call for greater clarity in the apparent contradictory aims of heritage and development for the cities of tomorrow in both China and Europe.
