Heritage 21’s Post

I agree that registered architectural heritage should be accessible to the public. Open access allows people to appreciate and learn about their cultural history, developing a sense of community and pride. It can also promote tourism and education. Balancing preservation with public access is essential, ensuring that heritage sites are maintained while allowing people to engage with their history. #heritage #addisababaheritage #piyasa

At the rate historic structures and sites are being demolished to “give way to development,” it is important for communities to realize that significant edifices and sites in their neighborhood are part of their heritage. This is where landscapes and memories unite. And here, communities should recognize that they own these. The key is always value. And in heritage preservation, there are several aspects to consider when defining what should be understood where tradition, regionality, and identity are concerned.

"The Tower of London’s World Heritage status is under "real threat" from the City of London Corporation’s draft policies for tall buildings, Historic England has warned. The heritage watchdog said the draft City Plan 2040 was "unsound in its current form" due to its wider heritage impacts. Consultation on the plan, which will be the corporation’s guiding document on developing the Square Mile, ends on 17 June.. The plan details the City's policies on housing, offices and cultural spaces to guide future planning decisions. Historic England said policies on offices and tall buildings were likely to "severely harm" assets such as St Paul’s and the Tower of London, in a submission seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS). The representation, which was dated 24 May and has not been made public, praised the City's expanded archaeology policy and policies on retrofit and refurbishment of existing buildings." Well, to be honest, it is not as if London had perimeters of protection/ buffer zones for heritage buildings as there is under French law (Book VI of the Heritage Code), promoting historic centres without the visual nuisance of concrete + glass contemporary buildings. The City skyscrapers are already disrupting London historic centre and overpowering Saint Paul's or the Tower. The new City Plan is the logical continuation of contemporary urbanism disconnected from heritage protection. https://lnkd.in/e3CBfrtH
