Heritage occupies a privileged position within the built
environment. Most municipalities in the United States, and nearly
all countries around the world, have laws and policies to preserve
heritage in situ, seeking to protect places from physical loss and
the forces of change. That privilege, however, is increasingly
being unsettled by the legacies of racial, economic, and social
injustice in both the built environment and historic preservation
policy, and by the compounding climate crisis. Though many heritage
projects and practitioners are confronting injustice and climate in
innovative ways, systemic change requires looking beyond the formal
and material dimensions of place and to the processes and outcomes
of preservation policy-operationalized through laws and guidelines,
regulatory processes, and institutions-across time and
socio-geographic scales, and in relation to the publics they are
intended to serve. This third volume in the Issues in Preservation
Policy series examines historic preservation as an enterprise of
ideas, methods, institutions, and practices that must reorient
toward a new horizon, one in which equity and sustainability become
critical guideposts for policy evolution. With contributions from
Lisa T. Alexander, Louise Bedsworth, Ken Bernstein, Robin Bronen,
Sara C. Bronin, Shreya Ghoshal, Scott Goodwin, Claudia Guerra,
Victoria Herrmann, James B. Lindberg, Randall Mason, Jennifer
Minner, David Moore, Marcy Rockman, Stephanie Ryberg-Webster, A.R.
Siders, Amanda L. Webb, and Vicki Weiner.
