This captivating collection of thought-provoking essays pays homage to the remarkable New Town of Edinburgh, celebrating its 250-year legacy since its inception. The insightful contributions of the participating authors delve into the intellectual, economic, and political factors that propelled the city of Edinburgh to expand beyond the confines of the Old Town, shedding light on the unique architectural status of the New Town in terms of its size, monumentality, and remarkable preservation.
For centuries, Scotland has been a trailblazer in innovation, progress, trade, and cultural exchange with England and the Continent. Since the Middle Ages, it has been a land of planned towns, showcasing a continuous dialogue between Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. This book explores the evolving interplay between these two historic areas, spanning from the eighteenth century to the present day, as Edinburgh underwent a remarkable commercialization process. It also compares Edinburgh's New Town with other notable new towns, such as nineteenth-century Dunedin in New Zealand and the twentieth-century planned new-town movement in Scotland.
Another central theme of this volume is the era of conservation, highlighting the significant efforts undertaken to preserve and protect the architectural and cultural heritage of the New Town. By employing diverse perspectives on the new town phenomenon in Scotland, this volume pays tribute to the vibrant capital of Scotland and provides valuable insights into ongoing research on Scotland's urban development.
