This book traces the policy history of urban conservation and its relationship to the town planning process setting both in their political context. Written in four parts the book deals with the origins of conservation and its cultural background, post-war legislation and the increasing scope of conservation, churches and their separate control system, with the final part bringing the story up to the present time. New issues such as sustainable conservation and the latest government policy are addressed in the conclusion.
