"Heritage preservation has become a major industry and pastime in North America and\r\nEurope. While the preservation movement has traditionally focussed on architectural\r\nstructures, in recent decades heritage landscapes have been recognized for the wealth of\r\nhistorical, cultural, economic, educational, and ecological information about both the past\r\nand the present that they contain. Time and change are critical aspects of the landscape, but\r\ntend to be addressed inadequately in heritage landscape preservation practice and guidelines.\r\nThis is demonstrated by the two disparate approaches, scientific and situated, to heritage\r\nlandscapes in the field of landscape architecture. This thesis examines the origins,\r\nmotivations, benefits, issues, and existing Canadian and U S guidelines for the preservation of\r\nheritage landscapes, and concludes that an approach that emphasizes memory and evolution\r\nof the landscape over static guidelines will create more robust and meaningful places."@en
