HDC Presents Its 14th Annual Preservation conference, "Preservation 2030,"March 7-9, 2008
PRESERVATION CONFERENCE SERIES Save the date now for the Historic Districts Council's 14th Annual Preservation Conference,"Preservation 2030." The conference will take place March 7-9, 2008. Taking Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 as our starting point, HDC will gather a host of planners, advocates and professionals to discuss the future of preservation in the city. Is preservation included in the Mayor's plan for the future of NewYork? How can we make sure that preservation principles are incorporated into efforts to accommodate an additional one million people over then next two decades?
A distinguished group of preservationists, planners, elected officials, government agency representatives, architects and educators from across NewYork 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." The Conference weekend will also feature an Opening Night Reception at Federal Hall and a selection of Walking Tours throughout the city.
