Publication | Issues in Preservation Policy: Preservation and Social Inclusion
/
The Urban Heritage, Sustainability, and Social Inclusion Initiative, in which TAA is a collaborator, has released the second volume of its Issues in Preservation Policy series. Bringing together a broad range of academics, historians, and practitioners, this volume documents historic preservation’s progress toward inclusivity and explores further steps to be taken.
Stemming from the work on the above volume, we are also pleased to announce the launch of “Building a Foundation for Action: Anti-Racist Historic Preservation Resources,” an open-access, collaborative resource list for preservationists seeking to acknowledge the field’s structural racism and to take actions toward de-centering Whiteness.
The third and final volume in the Issues in Preservation Policy series, Preservation, Sustainability, and Equity, is in production and will possibly be out by late Spring 2021.

The Urban Heritage, Sustainability, and Social Inclusion Initiative is a project of CSUD, the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, and The American Assembly. The initiative examines historic preservation as a sustainable and socially-inclusive urban policy tool. It has been generously funded by the New York Community Trust. The initiative engages researchers, government officials, and practitioners in a series of three symposia and related publications, to advance the collaborative processes needed to inform the next generation of preservation policy.
