How conservation areas transformed our streets since 1967
In short: This presentation examines the history and diversity of conservation areas, exploring their origins and the challenges they face for the future. Learn how these protected sites evolved from their first designations to the thousands existing today.
The first conservation areas were designated in 1967. Since then, the number of these sites has grown to approximately 10,000. This lecture explores the variety of these areas and the dramatic events and colourful individuals that shaped planning history.
The discussion features insights from Professor Simon Thurley, a leading architectural historian and former Visiting Gresham Professor of the Built Environment, and Mr Desmond FitzPatrick, Chairman of the City Heritage Society.
