MANAGING CHANGE IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT THROUGH HERITAGE CONSERVATION
Dadan Nugraha

Introduction
A man without history is a man without a soul.  This is also true for a city; its long path of history can be traced through the riches of its architectural heritage that reflect the experiences and culture of its people.
Civilization can be traced not only through documented history and the written records of a people’s experiences and activities.  Besides these there are other kinds of deposited evidences, mute witnesses, like for instance geological history, which can trace the past of a place.  Other such mute testaments are the old buildings that store annotations of authenticity especially of a city’s golden age.
