This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis identifies the quantitative and qualitative indicators that could be used to comprehensively measure the economic impacts of any local historic district designation. This thesis then focuses on two qualitative indicators that have not been adequately studied, community cohesion and the attraction of residents and businesses, and develops data sources and metrics to measure these indicators in order to contribute to a more comprehensive toolbox of evaluation. Ultimately, these tools will help shape preservation planning policies; specifically, what factors need to be taken into consideration when designating a local historic district and how to evaluate the economic impacts of local historic district designations over time. The findings in this thesis will assist planners and preservation advocates in discussions with opposition groups, establishing a frame for debates that encompasses all of the values of local historic district designations, including social indicators, in contrast to a pure economic model which has been predominately used in past discussions, and does not fully capture all of the social benefits of local designations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first published in 1994, The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leaders Guide has become an essential reference for any preservationist faced with convincing government officials, developers, property owners, business and community leaders, or his or her own neighbors that preservation strategies can make good economic sense. Author Donovan D. Rypkemareal estate consultant and nationally known speaker and writermakes his case with 100 "arguments" on the economic benefits of historic preservation, each backed up by one or more quotes from a study, paper, publication, speech, or report. In this eagerly awaited 2005 edition, he gives these arguments even more clout by adding new information and insights gained in the last decade. Count on Rypkema to be entertaining, provocative, and convincing as he describes and demonstrates how strategies that include preservation help communities make cost-effective use of resources, create jobs, provide affordable housing, revive downtowns, build tourism, attract new businesses and workers, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic designation is thought to have a role in neighborhood economic and community development. Local designation of historic districts is increasingly used as a tool to revitalize deteriorated neighborhoods and to protect endangered historical districts. A number of limitations in several previous studies have made policy development as well as a complete assessment of the impact of designation difficult. Some past studies focused only on historic neighborhoods in one city or one state; other studies have tested the impact of historic designation in general without distinguishing between local, state, or federal designation. Lastly, several earlier studies have also relied on comparing changes in property values in historic areas with those non-historic areas but with too few control variables to isolate the effects of historic area designation. This dissertation expands upon previous work by examining the effects of local historic designation on residential property values across six central cities in five states in the United States while controlling for numerous other variables that could impact the property values. The study employs hedonic regression models and difference on difference (case-control) descriptive statistical models to estimate the impact of local government designation of an area as a historical district on the prices of residential property. This is accomplished by the pairing of each historic district with a similar community that was not designated as historic. The research was performed in three fast-growth and three slow-growth central cities. The results indicate that local historic designation is associated with higher property values in the six central cities. In addition, the positive appreciation effects of local historic designation in slow-growth central cities were higher than in fast-growth central cities by 7.7 percent suggesting that historic designation has a role to play in urban revitalization for areas striving to improve property values despite slow population growth.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designation of historic properties and historic districts is increasingly used as a means to revive central city neighborhoods and to promote urban economic development. While preservation activities are thought to generate positive externalities for surrounding neighborhoods, these external effects have been difficult to quantify. Using a database of tax appraisal records for residential properties in Abilene, Texas, this study demonstates that there are significant, positive externalities associated with historic designation. We perform simple cost-benefit calculations and find that the internal and external benefits more than outweigh the (non-zero) costs associated with historical designation. Moreover, from the city of Abilene's perspective the property tax incentives provided to historic reinvestment are outweighed by the added property tax revenue created by the increased value.
Download or read book Handbook on the Economics of Cultural Heritage written by Ilde Rizzo and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural heritage is a complex and elusive concept, constantly evolving through time, and combining cultural, aesthetic, symbolic, spiritual, historical and economic values. The Handbook on the Economics of Cultural Heritage outlines the contribution of economics to the design and analysis of cultural heritage policies and to addressing issues related to the conservation, management and enhancement of heritage. The Handbook takes a multidisciplinary approach, using cultural economics as a theoretical framework to illustrate how crucial and stimulating cross-disciplinary dialogue actually is. Contributors scrutinise the co-existence of cultural and economic values as well as the new challenges that arise from changes brought about by technology, and relationships between the different actors engaged in the production, distribution and consumption of heritage services. The roles of public, private and non-profit organizations are also explored. Case studies underpin the discussion, demonstrating the clear and vital link between theory and practice. This highly unique Handbook will prove a fascinating and informative read for academics, researchers, students and policymakers with an interest in cultural economics.

Book excerpt: Since Brooklyn Heights was designated as New York City's first landmarked neighborhood in 1965, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has designated 120 historic neighborhoods in the city. This paper develops a theory of heterogeneous impacts across neighborhoods and exploits variation in the timing of historic district designations in New York City to identify the effects of preservation policies on residential property markets. We combine an extensive dataset of residential transactions during the 35-year period between 1974 and 2009 with data from the Landmarks Preservation Commission on the location of the city's historic districts and the timing of the designations. Designation raises property values within historic districts, but only outside of Manhattan. In areas where the value of the option to build unrestricted is higher, designation has a less positive effect on property values within the district. Consistent with theory, properties just outside the boundaries of districts increase in value after designation. There is also a modest reduction in new construction in districts after designation.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis project is to explore the meaning and consequences of two historic preservation policies in Covington, Kentucky. Covington, similar to thousands of other cities and towns in America, contains both national and local historic districts. While both types of districts grant certain advantages, their main difference lies in the power of local government to exhibit design control by use of zoning ordinances in local districts. While several studies have shown that local design control produces higher property values; resident dissatisfaction, and even contempt, is common. Past studies have not weighed this type of feedback into evaluating preservation programs, nor have they looked at other diverse methods of measurement. This thesis project works to analyze the economic, social, and physical aspects of both policies, and comes to the conclusion that perhaps national historic districts alone are adequate in creating positive change in a community.
