Colonial Heritage and Urban Transformation in the Global South: Excavating the Ruins of Cape Town's Rebirth

Colonial Heritage and Urban Transformation in the Global South: Excavating the Ruins of Cape Town's Rebirth by Christian Ernsten
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 3030858057 | 24.9 MB

This book traces and analyses the role of heritage in the urban transformation of the city of Cape Town. By looking at discourses of heritage and urban design, the book shows how Cape Town positions itself as an emerging global city in the context of a series of global events. The book points at how a heritage focus on the themes of post-colonial and post-apartheid reconciliation, restitution and memory in the city shifts to a focus on creativity, design and the arts.
