{"product_id":"christchurch-botanic-gardens-a-sense-of-place-von-russel-wedge","title":"CHRISTCHURCH BOTANIC GARDENS: A SENSE OF PLACE","description":"\u003cp\u003eManagers of Botanic Gardens are often influenced by  financial, political, social or physical factors to  change spaces within gardens, which can affect  the ¿sense of place'' people associate with an area.  To visitors and groups associated with the gardens  any development may change the association and  meaning people attribute to a space. Botanic  Gardens established in late 19th Century were given  particular meanings associated with the  acclimatisation of new plants. This book explores  conflicts over competing definitions of spaces in  the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, New Zealand.  Local residents, particularly those aligned with  community groups who have longstanding interests in  the Gardens, have reacted to these changes and  their ¿sense of place'' associated with the space.  The analysis provides an insight into how Botanic  Gardens'' managers and professionals managing public  spaces can meet contemporary demands on space, such  as increased visitor and tourism numbers while  maintaining a balance with political, cultural and  commercial activities at a local level. This is  particularly useful to people who maintain public  spaces with historic or heritage values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838376394\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCHRISTCHURCH BOTANIC GARDENS: THEIR PLACE IN CONTEMPORARY URBAN AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838376394","offer_id":39498947133533,"sku":"9783838376394","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/954dfc19-a1a0-4f14-bf66-544347055962.jpg?v=1776057752","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/christchurch-botanic-gardens-a-sense-of-place-von-russel-wedge","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
