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.

Download or read book Urban Heritage Development and Sustainability written by Sophia Labadi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of the world’s population now live in urban areas, and cities provide the setting for contemporary challenges such as population growth, mass tourism and unequal access to socio-economic opportunities. Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability examines the impact of these issues on urban heritage, considering innovative approaches to managing developmental pressures and focusing on how taking an ethical, inclusive and holistic approach to urban planning and heritage conservation may create a stronger basis for the sustainable growth of cities in the future. This volume is a timely analysis of current theories and practises in urban heritage, with particular reference to the conflict between, and potential reconciliation of, conservation and development goals. A global range of case studies detail a number of distinct practical approaches to heritage on international, national and local scales. Chapters reveal the disjunctions between international frameworks and national implementation and assess how internationally agreed concepts can be misused to justify unsustainable practices or to further economic globalisation and political nationalism. The exclusion of many local communities from development policies, and the subsequent erosion of their cultural heritage, is also discussed, with the collection emphasising the importance of ‘grass roots’ heritage and exploring more inclusive and culturally responsive conservation strategies. Contributions from an international group of authors, including practitioners as well as leading academics, deliver a broad and balanced coverage of this topic. Addressing the interests of both urban planners and heritage specialists, Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability is an important addition to the field that will encourage further discourse.

This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In developing effective urban revitalization strategies some still question the value of historic preservation districts and effort. Too few academic researchers have tried to identify and present practical evidence that historic preservation produces important changes in property values. This study using hedonic models in both fast and slow-growth regions demonstrates that historic preservation can indeed make an important contribution to urban revitalization efforts. In addition, historic preservation also produces other returns including enhancements related to aesthetic values and preserving an area's cultural heritage. This study demonstrates that there are both economic and planning benefits from historic preservation and that cities would be well advised to create a select number of districts within aging communities that suffer from the onset of deterioration

Book excerpt: Over the last quarter of a century, historic preservation has become a major component of urban revitalization in the US. Along with the cultural and economic benefits, the restoration of historic structures and environments has also produced a distinct improvement in the quality of life in several American cities. Japan, on the other hand, has only recently begun to recognize the potential contribution of historic preservation to urban revitalization; and, in general, its recent revitalization efforts, especially in several small cities, have not been well formulated or well executed. It is proposed here that small, declining Japanese cities can be revitalized, both economically and culturally, by making effective use of their historic resources. The concept of historic preservation as an urban revitalization tool is first discussed with emphasis on several major theories of preservation in an urban setting. Next, actual instances in which historic preservation was successfully integrated into urban revitalization programs are analyzed. Finally, a revitalization strategy for Otaru, a small declining city in northern Japan, is formulated based on the Urban Cultural Park concept implemented in the city of Lowell, Massachusetts.

Book excerpt: In the short span of some 50 years, starting with the founding of Santo Domingo at the end of the 15th century, the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors established most of the cities that today are the cornerstone of urban Latin America. The monuments, buildings and plazas that make up this vast heritage continue to define the region's cultural identity and constitute a valuable asset for socioeconomic development. This book explores ways to bring private investors, developers and urban residents into the preservation process, which is beyond the scope of government alone. It describes the different approaches being used to involve these various stakeholders, including successful if not coordinated interventions by public and private interests in Cartagena, Colombia ; operation of a mixed-capital corporation in Quito, Ecuador; and a government-promoted private investment program in Recife, Brazil. The experiences of these three historic Latin American cities provide significant clues about conditions that attract investment, and show why sustained private involvement is the key to furthering heritage preservation in the region.
