Changing spaces in historical places -- Clarksdale, Mississippi: Downtown regeneration, cultural heritage, tourism and blues music -- Beer as cultural lubricant: Brewing Tsingtao, regenerating Qingdao -- Sporting heritage and touristic transformation: Pacaembu stadium and the football museum in São Paulo, Brazil -- Old town Tallinn: Medieval built heritage amid transformation.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: Urban regeneration is often regarded as the process of renewal or redevelopment of spaces and places. There is a need to look at tourism and urban regeneration with a particular focus on cultural heritage. Cultural heritage consists of tangible heritage (such as historic buildings) and intangible heritage (such as events). The wider need and impact for such work is that places plan for change to keep up with the shifts in demand in the global economy in order for places to maintain a competitive advantage. Moreover, places need to keep up with the pace of global change or they risk stagnation and decline as increased competition is resulting in increased opportunities and choice for consumers. Each chapter in this book explores a specific form of cultural heritage that is driving change in urban spaces. Intended for a wide readership, the book will appeal to students of urban studies, human geography, heritage studies and international tourism management, as well as experts conducting research in and across these areas.
