摘要

With today’s entirely developed, globalized, and fast-paced world, our survival with our own cultural identities, practices, and traditions is becoming quite difficult, and this can be accepted by anyone in this era. As we are witnessing huge changes in our ecosystem like our cities do expand, languages are increasingly disappearing, and very importantly technology is reshaping our daily lives, our global communities are grappling with one crucial question: How do we preserve the very essence of who we are, while adapting to the fast-paced, quite advanced world around us? The answer is quite simple—cultural sustainability, which offers a reasonably clear path forward to us. It primarily challenges the assumption that progress must come at the very expense of cultural heritage and also it proposes an useful model where tradition and innovation coexist. This book is absolutely dedicated to deal with the concept of cultural sustainability and its implications in the fashion sector. This book primarily introduces the concept of cultural sustainability, explores its significance, and outlines the key elements that form its foundation, and this book revolves around the fashion sector. Cultural sustainability refers to the ongoing viability of cultural systems. It ensures that cultures do remain not just their physical representations, but their values, knowledge systems, and ways of life can endure, evolve, and be passed down in meaningful ways. While environmental and economic sustainability are often widely recognized pillars of sustainable development, cultural sustainability is often underemphasized across all industrial sectors. Yet without it, sustainable development lacks soul, identity, and social cohesion, which is the primary emphasis of this important book.
