Great perspective on preservation! Thank you, Sara C. Bronin!
ACHP Chair Sara C. Bronin was the keynote speaker yesterday at the American Planning Association, Federal Planning Division’s Annual Workshop in Washington, D.C. In her remarks to hundreds of planners, she emphasized that the ACHP's Section 106 regulatory process, which requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties, is in many ways a planning process: it requires analysis before action, and encourages broad consultation. She also encouraged planners to promote the implementation of four recently adopted ACHP policy statements. Among other things, planners can push for better data to inform the protection of historic places, incorporate climate change issues into policy and design, facilitate housing in historic buildings, ensure respect for burial sites and human remains, and integrate Indigenous Knowledge in planning and decision-making by public and private entities alike.
