General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

Heritage protection, from a professional point of view, means preserving existing structures and adding new ones that do not make insignificant the existing ones look awkward (such as that proposal for a tower on Duke Street in downtown Kitchener, which has a developer who wants to build the tower literally on top of a beautiful old house - and rightfully so, heritage advocates, architects and normal people in the community think that's a stupid compromise).

Thanks for this whole post. I feel like I agree with it but couldn’t have said it myself. It’s nice to have an architect in the group who can bring a professional perspective.
