- Abstract
Urban conservation has recently been held to possess a wide perspective for explicitly identifying and assessing the combination of tangible and intangible values of historic urban contexts, and implicitly defining and conserving authenticity, local identity and spirit of place through developments in assessment of values. This new way of understanding and appreciating historic urban context raises new questions for the urban conservation discipline. Discourses focus on the importance of developing reliable sources for investigating authenticity, identity and spirit of place in historic urban contexts. This paper outlines a theoretical approach to the spirit of place and proposes a new source; property rights as a contribution to the theory and practice of identifying and conserving the spirit of place through exploring human experiences, and as a way of forming, designing and constructing the urban form.
