Cambridge urban cores
#14
Bringing back an old thread for a newer discussion around heritage protection, now that they're at it again:

https://www.cambridgetoday.ca/local-news...ct-8762091

Quote:Not everyone happy with push for Hespeler heritage conservation district

Cambridge architect Patrick Simmons thinks Heritage Conservation Districts are an unnecessary impediment to growth; city calls them essential in protecting unique character


I personally find it a bit grotesque to use the power of the public government to protect buildings and property that the public can't use. The expansion of Heritage™ as yet another exclusionary consultant specialty has frozen so much of our cities in time and protected the incumbent landowners at the expense of anything new. It's a horrible project with a name that nobody could be publicly against and is an awful, awful thing for cities that are supposed to be fluid, growing, and not stagnant.
