Urban Heritage Management in Secondary Towns and
Cities in SEA Cambodia, Siem Reap and
Battambang, 25 March 2012
Presentation based on:ForUm - Network for Urban futures inSoutheast Asia
Presentation 9 – 11 January 2009
Heritage as a phenomenon of cultural hiatus in the battleground of
Battambang
A Battleground• The only value of land is the usage to which it can be put. This law of
economics explains why the city is the battleground of social struggles as the diverse actors of the population covet it and fight to appropriate it;
• Rulers over the dominated – political rulers or empowered technocrats who can enforce their choices of land usage by law enforcement
• Rich over the poor – financially powerful who can buy out the poor and impose their choices on the use of the city
• Haves over the have-nots – a concentration of ‘haves’ with evacuation of the ‘have-nots’ to less coveted locations
• Environmental socio-ecological issues versus economies• Conservation versus change or memory versus innovation• Politics versus planning and conservation• Experts who come up with ideas about heritage management
What is Heritage?• Nobody agrees about heritage. This is why it is called
heritage or it would be considered like any other part of humanity’s environment; allowed to live and die, to be maintained or destroyed. Heritage arises with a a cultural hiatus or culture shock. A religion that has fallen out of favour may lead to places of worship being abandoned, a deposed tyrant to his palace falling into disrepute, racism to the creation of ghettos, road vehicles to the replacement of water networks, liberal economies instead of communist ideologies, monarchies to oligarchies, new political ideologies; all these will modify a society’s relationship to its built environment and its desire to conserve, demolish or build.
Concept• The hypothesis is that urban, cultural or built heritage has
an intangible value but no intrinsic material value. Like a human body it has no identity without being inhabited by life. Its value resides in the fact that it is the depositor of social consensus and memory
• It is the depositor of social memory without which human society cannot relate cognitively, morally or symbolically.
• Heritage is the vitality of the city, in the same way as new building, infrastructure and ever changing human activity are the reflection of the rejuvenation of the city
• There is no prosperity without intangible well-being
