Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its most basic, historic preservation is about keeping old places alive, in active use, and relevant to the needs of communities today. As cities across America experience a remarkable renaissance, and more and more young, diverse families choose to live, work, and play in historic neighborhoods, the promise and potential of using our older and historic buildings to revitalize our cities is stronger than ever. This urban resurgence is a national phenomenon, boosting cities from Cleveland to Buffalo and Portland to Pittsburgh. Experts offer a range of theories on what is driving the return to the city—from the impact of the recent housing crisis to a desire to be socially engaged, live near work, and reduce automobile use. But there’s also more to it. Time and again, when asked why they moved to the city, people talk about the desire to live somewhere distinctive, to be some place rather than no place. Often these distinguishing urban landmarks are exciting neighborhoods—Miami boasts its Art Deco district, New Orleans the French Quarter. Sometimes, as in the case of Baltimore’s historic rowhouses, the most distinguishing feature is the urban fabric itself. While many aspects of this urban resurgence are a cause for celebration, the changes have also brought to the forefront issues of access, affordable housing, inequality, sustainability, and how we should commemorate difficult history. This book speaks directly to all of these issues. In The Past and Future City, Stephanie Meeks, the president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, describes in detail, and with unique empirical research, the many ways that saving and restoring historic fabric can help a city create thriving neighborhoods, good jobs, and a vibrant economy. She explains the critical importance of preservation for all our communities, the ways the historic preservation field has evolved to embrace the challenges of the twenty-first century, and the innovative work being done in the preservation space now. This book is for anyone who cares about cities, places, and saving America’s diverse stories, in a way that will bring us together and help us better understand our past, present, and future.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation: The Impact of Historic Preservation on Local Economics in Georgia During 1986 and 1987 the Georgia General Assembly appointed special Study Committees to examine the role of historic preservation in the State's economic development. Committee members heard repeatedly of preservation's tremendous impact. Many people appearing before the Committees presented hard economic data to support their testimony. It was clear that relatively small public investments in preservation could leverage much larger private investments about 15 private dollars for every public dollar spent. The Committee report urged the Historic Preservation Section of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to undertake a study which would examine the economic impact of a broad range of preservation activities and provide a model framework which could be used to document and measure this impact. In 1987 the Historic Preservation Section of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, which serves as the State Historic Preservation Office, received a Preservation Services Fund Grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This grant funded a study to document the effects of historic preservation on the economy of Georgia and to design a methodology for measurement of this impact. The study was conducted between April and November of 1988. Although the study's original intent was to produce a measuring tool or framework which could be applied statewide, the focus was eventually narrowed to examine the impact of preservation in the context of a local economy. A case-study approach was used in five Georgia cities: Athens, Macon, Rome, Thomasville and Valdosta. It is hoped that in a future study, building on this material, a statewide methodology for assessing the economic impact of preservation activities can be developed. The present study, undertaken by the Historic Preservation Program of the School of Environmental Design at the University of Georgia for the Historic Preservation Section, documents the economic benefits accruing to these five Georgia communities. Impacts of preservation activity on tangibleeconomic indicators such as property values, retail trends, tourism, the construction industry, employment, taxes and fees have been tracked directly. Preservation's impact on intangibles such as citizen involvement, community pride and image, and quality of life was addressed in three of the five cities through a telephone opinion poll. The data was collected according to a methodology that other cities and communities will be able to use. These two bodies of data are complementary, and when joined present a full picture of the impacts, both real and perceived, of preservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where half of the population lives in cities and more than 90 percent of urban growth is occurring in the developing world, cities struggle to modernize without completely losing their unique character, which is embodied by their historic cores and cultural heritage assets. As countries develop, cultural heritage can provide a crucial element of continuity and stability: the past can become a foundation for the future. This book collects innovative research papers authored by leading scholars and practitioners in heritage economics, and presents the most current knowledge on how heritage assets can serve as drivers of local economic development. What this book tries to suggest is a workable approach to explicitly take into account the cultural dimensions of urban regeneration in agglomerations that have a history and possess a unique character, going beyond an approach based solely on major cultural heritage assets or landmarks. The knowledge disseminated through this book will help stakeholders involved in preparation, implementation, and supervision of development investments to better assess the values of cultural heritage assets and incorporate them in urban development policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington, D.C. has long been known as a frustrating and sometimes confusing city for its residents to call home. The monumental core of federal office buildings, museums, and the National Mall dominates the city’s surrounding neighborhoods and urban fabric. For much of the postwar era, Washingtonians battled to make the city their own, fighting the federal government over the basic question of home rule, the right of the city’s residents to govern their local affairs. In Historic Capital, urban historian Cameron Logan examines how the historic preservation movement played an integral role in Washingtonians’ claiming the city as their own. Going back to the earliest days of the local historic preservation movement in the 1920s, Logan shows how Washington, D.C.’s historic buildings and neighborhoods have been a site of contestation between local interests and the expansion of the federal government’s footprint. He carefully analyzes the long history of fights over the right to name and define historic districts in Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and Capitol Hill and documents a series of high-profile conflicts surrounding the fate of Lafayette Square, Rhodes Tavern, and Capitol Park, SW before discussing D.C. today. Diving deep into the racial fault lines of D.C., Historic Capital also explores how the historic preservation movement affected poor and African American residents in Anacostia and the U Street and Shaw neighborhoods and changed the social and cultural fabric of the nation’s capital. Broadening his inquiry to the United States as a whole, Logan ultimately makes the provocative and compelling case that historic preservation has had as great an impact on the physical fabric of U.S. cities as any other private or public sector initiative in the twentieth century.
