Community participation is a central, although contested, terrain in the transformation of historic neighbourhoods, with the potential to shape inclusive urban conservation practices.
This presentation explores the dynamic interplay between urban transformation and community participation in the context of historic neighbourhoods, focusing on the challenges and opportunities of fostering inclusion. Taking a comparative look at South Asian and European perspectives, it explores how community-orientated approaches contribute to the preservation of cultural identities in the midst of rapid urban change.
