In this session, we wish to place under scrutiny\u00a0the contested values which undergird heritage and landscape\u00a0inventorising and conservation\u00a0in the postcolonial city<\/strong>. Our specific focus is upon cities\u00a0whose histories are inextricably wound up with\u00a0imperial projects, past and present. This could include cities in colonial or metropolitan heartlands whose affluence,\u00a0landscapes, and built heritage\u00a0were shaped by colonialism and cities\u00a0in colonial peripheries\u00a0caught up in colonisation and bearing the stamp of colonial power, anti-colonial struggles, and decolonisation. \u00a0In part, we wish to examine how colonial heritages are valued in these city\u00a0landscapes in the context of neoliberal\u00a0mega-development projects and place branding.\u00a0 Cultural and historical critiques of city marketing have questioned the ways in which local histories are often appropriated, silenced, and sanitised as part of an attempt to rebrand and repackage cities for new \u2018consumers\u2019. With specific respect to the marketing of the postcolonial city and to neoliberal mega-development projects therein, we are keen to explore which stories are told, which not, who gets to decide, and what this all means for landscape preservation and heritage management.<\/p>\n

Papers are invited from across the Global North and in particular\u00a0Global South (especially from early career researchers) which examine:
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ongoing impress of colonial pasts, anti-colonial struggles, and postcolonial trajectories\u00a0in contemporary landscapes in cities embroiled in complex colonial and postcolonial\u00a0histories.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How colonial landscapes are valued, inventorised and conserved\u00a0in the postcolonial city.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Contestation and dissonant values in the heritage debates in the postcolonial city.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The role of neoliberal and entrepreneurial mega-projects and city marketing in shaping debates on heritage management, including the ‘worlding’ of landscapes in cities in the Global South.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Methodologies (geo-humanities and digital technologies)\u00a0through which a wider range of social values might be included in heritage policy and practice.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The meaning and implications of the recent rise to prominence of a\u00a0historic urban landscape paradigm\u00a0for heritage management in the postcolonial city.
