Defence Sites : Heritage and Future

The conference aims to raise the knowledge of the scale, design and functions of military, naval and air force sites. It will bring a better understanding to the issues raised by their redundancy, and the implications of different disposal processes for state owned land. It is also important to understand the interaction of different stakeholders and their influence on the outcome. They include government agencies, developers, planners, architects, historians and members of local communities. Special issues related to historical naval ships and other maritime infrastructure will also be discussed. This book presents case studies, highlighting examples of good practices that can help to transfer knowledge between different partners across the world. The papers in this book are grouped in the following subject areas: Military Heritage History; Castles and Fortresses; Risk Assessment; Simulations and Modelling; Case Studies; Transition from Military to Civilian Life; Community Involvement.
