Keynote Speakers

Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Programme. Over the past 20 years, this path-breaking programme has promoted the conservation and re-use of buildings and public spaces in historic cities in the Muslim World – from Kabul, Afghanistan, to Zanzibar’s Stone Town, and Azhar Park in Cairo, Egypt – as a catalyst to improving the quality of life of their inhabitants. The Trust believes the long-term sustainability of historic fabric is inseparable from the health of the living communities that inhabit it. Rather than seeking to freeze places in time or commercialize them as tourist attractions, the programme uses heritage sites as a vital resource for positive socio-economic change. The restoration of monuments and the re-use of historic buildings are integrated into broader economic and social initiatives that include micro-credit for business development, housing rehabilitation, employment-generation, and the improvement of small-scale infrastructure and open spaces. 

Graham Fairclough – Over the past two decades, Graham Fairclough’s work with English Heritage developing methods of historic landscape characterisation has placed him at the forefront of new landscape-informed and inclusive ways of ‘doing’ heritage. These new methods extend heritage concepts to the everyday surroundings of life, not only to special sites. Fairclough has worked and written particularly closely on the relationship of heritage with land use planning, on the integration of heritage with nature conservation and environmental protection, on the interaction between heritage approaches and sustainability theory, and on the wider social (and cultural) uses of heritage and heritage assets. The idea of landscape – in its widest conceptual sense, and as an intellectual framework – has become increasing central to his thinking in all these areas. He has worked with the Council of Europe on the European Landscape Convention, and on the Faro Convention ‘on the Value of Cultural Heritage to Society’, and has been a participant in several landscape-focussed European network projects, currently with a network called COST IS1007, Investigating Cultural Sustainability. Currently a free spirit in institutional terms, he is joint Editor of the British journal Landscapes, and a Visiting Fellow at Newcastle University (UK). Read Graham Fairclough’s article “New Heritage Frontiers” – see page 29.
