HDC
Presents Its 14th Annual Preservation conference,
Preservation 2030
March 7-9, 2008
PlaNYC 2030 is a broad initiative put forth by Mayor
Michael Bloomberg to enhance New York’s urban environment
for the future focusing on sustainable goals for land, air, water,
energy and transportation projects. One of the main premises of
the plan is that New York City will receive an additional one million
residents in the next two decades. Many in the preservation community
want to know how the city can accommodate this growth and still
retain its historic character. Using the Mayor’s PlaNYC as
a starting point, the Historic Districts Council’s 14th Annual
Preservation Conference will focus on preservation and its relation
to a broad framework of urban issues and how they relate to New
York’s many diverse neighborhoods. The HDC conference will
utilize original research, real-life case studies, panel discussions
and community tours to talk about preservation and development in
the future, especially through the lens of the 2030 Plan and its
land use initiatives.
A distinguished group of preservationists, planners, elected officials,
government agency representatives, architects and educators from
across New York City’s five boroughs will address these issues.
These panelists are all intimately invested in the development and
land use concerns of their communities and will dissect PlaNYC and
it’s implications for our city’s future. The Conference
will consist of three panel discussions: “Surviving the Building
Boom: Urban Neighborhoods of the Future,” “Building
it Out: Suburban Neighborhoods of the Future” and “Tools
of the Trade: Preservation Practices for the Next Generation.”
