The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leader's Guide
Book Description Since it was first published in 1994, The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leaders Guide has become an essential reference for any preservationist faced with convincing government officials, developers, property owners, business and community leaders, or his or her own neighbors that preservation strategies can make good economic sense. Author Donovan D. Rypkema-real estate consultant and nationally known speaker and writer-makes his case with 100 "arguments" on the economic benefits of historic preservation, each backed up by one or more quotes from a study, paper, publication, speech, or report. In this eagerly awaited 2005 edition, he gives these arguments even more clout by adding new information and insights gained in the last decade. Count on Rypkema to be entertaining, provocative, and convincing as he describes and demonstrates how strategies that include preservation help communities make cost-effective use of resources, create jobs, provide affordable housing, revive downtowns, build tourism, attract new businesses and workers, and more. Updated 2005. Reader Reviews This book helped me and my supporters in framing our arguments over a proposed redevelopment of downtown. A must for anyone who cares about the historic structures, homes, and businesses in their town. Gives real, concrete easy-to-understand arguments for the preservation of historic properties. If your town is facing pressure from developers to "revitalize" an older neighborhood, you need this book to build a case for preserving important properties! Comment (1) | | (Report this)
