Résumé en anglais
Historic areas and precincts have been a less debated subject in the realm of heritage conservation studies in India, and this publication intends to fill this lacuna. It is the outcome of a series of webinars held between August and December 2020 organized by ICOMOS India East Zone in collaboration with the National Scientific Committee on Historic Towns and Villages, ICOMOS India. The overall theme of the webinars was ‘Resilient and Sustainable Development of Historic Precincts and Areas’, with a focus on West Bengal. With contributions from highly skilled experts in their respective fields, the different sessions threw light on important aspects such as concepts, frameworks, legal tools, heritage economics, management mechanisms, community participation, intangible heritage, resilience, sustainable development, and disaster mitigation. The publication includes keynote speeches, articles and case studies, as well as transcripts of panel discussions, concluding with a summary of the lessons learnt and actionable points. Written in an extremely readable style, and illustrated with relevant images, the compilation is bound to appeal to both the expert as well as the curious, non-expert reader. Links to digital video recordings of all the webinar sessions are also included.
