The book explores the evolving relationship between historic preservation and urban planning in the U.S. since the 1960s. It highlights how preservation has become a crucial component of urban development rather than just a nostalgic pursuit. Through an interdisciplinary analysis, it examines four historic districts in Philadelphia, Boston, Charleston, and Savannah, addressing the planning, economic, and social challenges inherent in preserving these areas.
