YIMBYs and NIMBYs agree on one thing – they both want to live in desirable heritage neighbourhoods. Despite heritage being blamed for lack of new housing in these areas, according to @jameslesh (@Deakin) it’s not the real issue. theconversation.com/yimbys-a…
YIMBYs and NIMBYs unite! You can have both heritage protection and more housing

Thanks everyone for the great turnout and fab event! Surreal for a 10-year project to reach its conclusion. Call or email the @BoydFoundation to pre-order the hardback at half price.

So excited to be at @BoydFoundation the launch of @jameslesh’s book “Values in Cities: Urban Heritage in Twentieth-Century Australia”. James has been working on this for about as long as I’ve been at @NTAV, which is a pretty long time. Congratulations James!!!

I write in @ConversationEDU about the need for an agenda towards integrating #sustainability and #urbanheritage. #SOE22 theconversation.com/frozen-i…

Frozen in time, we’ve become blind to ways to build sustainability into our urban heritage

Our urban heritage should be allowed to evolve and adapt to the values and needs of today. It’s the best way to avoid neglect and decay, while enabling this heritage to help make cities sustainable.
