“…African American communities gained an increased sense of recognition, changing how local history has been perceived and understood (Lee 2012). Preservationists were relatively silent in the civil rights movement; however, as the 1970s advanced, pioneering preservationists started to work in the streets with people of all races and economic levels (Tomlan 2015). The 1970s were also the years of America's bicentennial, a pivotal event to revisit the nation's history by including its diverse narratives (Rymsza-Pawlowska 2017).…”

“…CLG programs helped to distribute some of the workload of state offices while expanding their outreach. The results have been a tremendous development of local infrastructure for preservation, including an increase in direct subsidies in the form of loans, grants, and tax incentives and a stronger local network of experts (Tomlan 2015). Scholars have celebrated the creation of CLGs by emphasizing how the protective power is found at the local level, where preservation ordinances, regulations, and incentives are drafted and where property owners interact with government authority (Tyler, Ligibel and Tyler 2018).…”

This paper examines the nomination of the Williams Avenue YWCA in Portland, Oregon, in the National Register of Historic Places as a crucial event in recognizing and preserving Black heritage within American national history. Our analytical framework combines Black geography and multilevel governance theory (MLG) to examine documents used for the nomination process. We unpack the historic significance of the Williams, illustrating its multifaceted role in Portland's African American community and emphasizing the role of various private and public actors in the nomination process. This analysis reveals that cities play a crucial role in protecting local history and highlights the importance of nurturing connections between cities and other levels of government. Moreover, it illustrates how the documents used for the nomination process are a tool for racial equity and it shows how historic preservation contributes to a more inclusive understanding of cities by celebrating their local, diverse, and pluralistic pasts.

“…The TDR methods have evolved over time: from a basic Zoning Lot Merger, in use since 1916, which consists of the simple union of two contiguous lots and the TDR within the sector (Benn and Infranca 2013), to more complex mechanisms such as the Landmark Transfer, a special permit for the sale of unused development rights, granted to the owners of monumental and historical buildings, also allowing a further transfer of the development capacity (Tomlan 2015).…”

In Europe, the debate on the recovery of the historic centres has been developed, over the years, around the balance between conservation and transformation needs in order to meet the new demands of the contemporary world. In the field of urban planning, the strictly conservative and binding approach has gradually been supported by flexible and consensual mechanisms that act as a stimulus to private initiative in the redevelopment and regeneration of the historic urban landscape. The consolidated Italian experience in the policies for the protection and enhancement of historical settlements is being significantly innovated after the entry into force of the Urbani Code, which extends the character of landscape heritage to the historic urban fabric, transferring to the regional authorities the task of establishing the specific regulations for its use and transformation. The Region of Sardinia has achieved an important role in the implementation of policies for the recovery and redevelopment of the historic centres identified by the Regional Landscape Plan (RLP). The common and consolidated practice is still characterized by the use of traditional regulative instruments, in particular the detailed plan, which provide rules for the requalification of the compromised urban fabrics through a set of rules and guidelines to be applied to the replacement of recent buildings and the renovation of urban patterns that for density, ratios between solids and voids, heights, alignments and elevations are incompatible with the values of the context. The constraint and binding approach is effective in the conservation strategies but often inadequate to implement actions of integrated redevelopment of urban fabric altered by new buildings in contrast with the historic urban landscape features, also due to the global crisis situation and the shortage of public funding. The paper proposes the use of the non-financial compensation tool, based on the granting of bonus development rights to realising on site or in alternative locations, in order to encourage urban regeneration projects that also involve the replacement of buildings incompatible with historical urban landscape morphological patterns. The integration of a methodology for assessing the financial feasibility of the demolition and reconstruction of the incompatible structures in the planning process, as tested in the case study of Villasor municipality, has allowed the elaboration of a model to support the use of a compensation mechanism for the redevelopment of historical settlement values. In this perspective, the paper aims to investigate the opportunities provided by market-oriented and flexible approaches to support and promote private urban regeneration projects. In particular, it illustrates the experimental results of a methodology for the analysis of the urban fabric that takes into account the factors influencing the feasibility of the intervention of demolition and reconstruction of the incompatible buildings. Finally a model for the assessment of any bonus in terms of additional building capacity is suggested, to be granted to private operators as an incentive to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the project.

“…Independence Hall in Philadelphia, George Washington's Mount Vernon, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, the ruins of Casa Grande, the Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio, and the Old South Meeting House in Boston, all reflect how a broad range of individuals, different levels of government, and private organizations approached preservation activities led by a philosophy consistent with the landmark-focused Old Preservation. 14 By the 1930s, the stage was set for a major innovation in historic preservation practice, one that would increase the relevance of the preservation movement to activities typically associated with modern urban planning. Threatened by incompatible uses, automobile-oriented urbanism, and neighborhood disinvestment, Charleston, South Carolina, and New Orleans, Louisiana, began using local zoning ordinances, many of which had been first established in the 1920s, to create historic districts as a way to maintain the physical fabric of their historic cores while encouraging new reinvestment.…”

The federal urban renewal program had wide-ranging consequences for American cities of all sizes and locations. Among the most consequential was its catalyzing effect on the historic preservation movement nationwide. While preservation practice at the dawn of the urban renewal era emphasized historic monuments, by its end in the mid-1970s, preservationists were much more concerned with neighborhoods, districts, and larger swaths of urban fabric, thus, becoming relevant to all manner of future city shaping and revitalizing efforts. While this expansion took place nationwide, the paths taken by individual cities varied considerably. Because of its large number of historic downtown residential neighborhoods, and its long involvement with historic preservation, Lexington, Kentucky, provides an ideal case study to explore this transformation, highlighting the ways in which neighborhood associations and local preservation organizations collaborated to set the stage for widespread adoption of local historic districts in the 1970s.
