i know i'll probably pester William Moss on this, but thought i might
also solicit from a wider audience -
i'm doing a paper in a course on the effects of globalisation on the
urban fabric, offered by the planning department here in buffalo - i'd
like to look at projects, ideas/thoughts/opinions, legislation,
planning papers, etc., dealing with urban archaeology, specifically
anything intending to integrate archaeological remains in
redevelopment -
any leads? suggestions?
i haven't looked into this too deeply yet; i have some material from
europe and will check out a few leads (among others, at least one MA
course combining urban planning with archaeology), but i wanted to see
what kind of resources i might have out there before i commited myself
too deeply -
i'd kind of like to tie this in with some of the international treaties
and chartae and so on, which argue that cities should reflect their
history and past by maintaining historical ground plans and property
lines, and say archaeology might be seen as a defence against the bland
kind of "americanisation" going on, which seems to be making every main
street into a mirror image of main streets everywhere, and which sort
of defeats the purpose of being able to travel (you go somewhere and
it's just the same as being home) -
