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: 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.

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.

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.
