The University of Waterloo School of Architecture has a good lecture on the intersection between new architectural projects and heritage preservation here in Waterloo Region I thought I'd share here. It's presented by Eric Haldenby who teaches at the university. He explores how developers, architects, the city and the region have often approached the issue of heritage preservation in the region in what he describes as a "perverse" way that strongly degrades exactly what they're hoping to preserve and also seriously disrupt a neighbourhood. He also explores ways in which we can capitalize on the LRT system to properly redevelop the city, how we can improve our streets to make them more "inhabitable" and friendly as public spaces, how we can attempt to tackle the housing crisis and a lot more.
