Heritage Led Regeneration

It is unfortunately the case that, still, many agencies connected with regeneration of our towns and cities fail to see any role for investing in the historic environment. Their starting point is to look forward to what can be created on an open site but they fail to look at what can be kept and re-used from the past and the benefits that might arise from adopting such an approach.
