How do they implement historic preservation (more often known as "heritage conservation") in other parts of the world? Legal protection against demolition and unsuitable renovation work is but one important stage. Please join us as Alina Congreve reviews the system of legal protection in England and the roles of local government and volunteer organizations. Congreve will discuss the positive role that heritage has to play in urban renewal projects-where heritage can be an asset rather than a burden to development. She will conclude by looking at a range of successful projects to engage a wider audience in heritage protection.
