Cultural heritage, which partially resulted from processes of urbanization, has become a profession of its own right. The professionalization of cultural heritage, however, alienates it from the field of planning. The tendency leaves a significant issue unattended, which is, that much of built heritage in Taiwan is located on state properties intertwined with planning histories. It is through studying cultural heritage that we may be able to clarify these planning failures and thereof responsibilities. Moreover, the empirical question could enable an exploration into ways to re-materialize planning theories. Based on the authors’ participant-observation of the preservation movement as part of the community movement occurring at Huaguang during the period from January 2013 to November 2014, this paper provides a reflective account of the preservation movement. It addresses the following questions: What opportunities and limitations can cultural heritage offer to urban movements against the top-down project and the resulting forced relocation? In which way does it redefines “demolition” as “destruction” and allows the tension between residents and citizen to materialize? The analytical results show how cultural heritage can play a large role in re-materializing planning theories into practices. |
