The discussion on New Town (or Post-65) planning and architectural heritage is alive and kicking!
But what does this mean in a more concrete manner? How do we deal with New Town heritage for instance in physical transformation processes? What role do the residents play?
In this session, we aim to discuss the intersection of heritage and New Town architecture and design from a concrete, less policy-oriented perspective. How do you deal with 70’s architecture that potentially could be or should be classified as cultural heritage, especially in physical transformation processes? What role do citizens play in this, as the majority of buildings in New Towns are privately owned? Support from the public is necessary in protecting 70’s architecture. But, how do you engage with this non-professional audience? Experts from various different backgrounds will cover these and more questions.
More information will follow soon.
