A Good Read for Planners and Peers: Why Old Places Matter

Great review of Tom Mayes' book. I keep repeating, if you want to systematically understand why preservationists (including yourself) do what they do, Tom's book is a must read.

A recent book brings a common sense framework to historic preservation debates.

Fifteen years ago, on January 1, 2004, Heritage Strategies International (HSI) was formed to be the non-US counterpart to PlaceEconomics. In that decade and a half we've had the opportunity to work in more than 50 countries. Thank you to our clients and friends who have allowed us to see the world and hopefully make minor contributions to saving and using the heritage resources around the globe. We look forward to new assignments, including the 150 or so countries we haven't gotten to yet. Best wishes for a successful and heritage-filled 2019. ... See more

One of the benefits of doing international work is the opportunity to connect foreign friends with colleagues in the US. Евгения Твардовская is an award-winning Russian journalist who specializes in cultural heritage issues. A couple of months ago she contacted me to ask if I knew anyone who has expertise in culinary heritage. As it happens our friend and client Shanon Shea Miller is the historic preservation officer for San Antonio, Texas, which was designated a Creative City for Cuisine by UNESCO. The result is an interview (in Russian beginning on page 72) in the latest issue of the publication Eugenia writes for. If you read Russian you can see the article here: auipik.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/OG_7_2018.pdf?fbclid=IwAR31BO1CE-Gl-GrEa0ArjQcZcCvdqPcVqjRC7Vdki3hLx27pNOIJ-PIuON8 ... See more
