Urban Renewal Series – Cultural and Heritage Conservation

 

Cultural and heritage conservation is about continuity that preserves both tangible and intangible heritages for people to build a sense of belonging for the society, rather than a place to simply make a living.  It creates collective memories for people who have been pouring their endeavors to the community throughout decades.  In this month’s issue, we will go through how conservation ramifies the effect of urban regeneration, and how does Hong Kong’s understanding and practices compare with other cities’.

When you grab a coffee in “Tai Kwun”, you can see those heritage buildings have been refurbished into a hub packed with shops, restaurants, art and cultural exhibits. A business model has been added to reinforce its sustainability, thereby increased the usage of public open spaces, enhanced the vitality and vibrancy of the historic buildings and its surrounding communities, and connected the new generations to the heritage. The following foreign conservation projects illustrate the importance of programming and to review the management for the city’s development throughout conservation.
