A history of urban planning policy and heritage protection in Vientiane, Laos Long, Colin 2002, A history of urban planning policy and heritage protection in Vientiane, Laos, International development planning review, vol. 24, no. 2, pp. 127-144. Title A history of urban planning policy and heritage protection in Vientiane, Laos Author(s) Long, Colin Journal name International development planning review Volume number 24 Issue number 2 Start page 127 End page 144 Publisher Liverpool University Press Place of publication Liverpool, England Publication date 2002 ISSN 1474-6743 1478-3401 Summary This paper examines the tensions between modernisation and heritage protection in the Lao capital, Vientiane. Vientiane provides an interesting case study of the dilemmas facing small cities in developing countries as those countries try to manage the pressures that result from greater integration in regional and global processes of economic and cultural change. While modernisation appears to be winning out over heritage  protection, the paper concludes that they are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and that heritage protection in Vientiane is largely aimed at  reinforcing monumental and nation-building elements, emphasising the  development of a contemporary national capital of a modern nation state.
