The prevalent global heritage discourse has been primarily Euro-centric in its origin, premise, and praxis. Diverse cultural, historical, and geographical contexts, such as that of Asia, call for more context-specific approaches to heritage management. This book explores this complexity of managing the cultural heritage in Asia. "The diverse topics presented in this book with renewed perspectives of the authors will benefit further researchers, policy-makers, heritage conservationists, urban planners and authorities responsible for heritage management within or beyond Asia."
