| Summary: |
This two-day conference addresses the often vexed issue of how heritage
and development can co-exist. Today when these two worlds meet views
and perceptions often become polarised and entrenched. In many instances
it becomes a case of ‘Either/Or’. Either we have heritage
or we have development. While this may be true in some cases in others
it is possible, and perhaps desirable, for the two to coexist. This
is of course best achieved at the planning and design stage.
This conference highlights some of the issues raised by the interaction
of heritage and residential and commercial development. Planning
and Design for Heritage and Development features speakers from Ireland,
Sweden, Spain, Britain, Italy and Germany. They cover an eclectic
range of topics. It promises to be an interesting and stimulating
couple of days.
Who should attend? Heritage professionals, property developers,
architects, ecologists, planners, archaeologists, local authority
staff, county councillors and any others with a professional interest
in heritage and development.
