Modern Heritage Under Pressure: Perspectives from the Global South

Edited by Aziza Chaouni, the volume brings together scholars, architects, and conservation practitioners who explore how political instability, climate change, rapid urbanization, neglect, and speculative development endanger modern heritage sites.

Through a series of case studies, the book argues for more inclusive and context-sensitive preservation approaches that recognize the social, environmental, and cultural value of modern architecture in the Global South. It also highlights how conservation can serve as a tool for sustainability, community engagement, and postcolonial re-evaluation of architectural history.
