Preservation in Context: Communities and Their Landmarked Districts

Community Advocates Discuss Appropriateness
http://hdc.org/blog/2009/11/16/community-activists-talk-about-appropriateness/

 When: Wednesday, 11/18/2009, 6:00 – 8:00pm

RSVP: frontdesk@aiany.org

More than twenty community organizations in New York advocate for the collective best interest of their historically landmarked communities. The composition of each neighborhood uniquely defines the needs of each historic district and directs the local organization’s relationship with the Commission. Representatives from activist groups representing varying community types (residential, commercial, mixed, tourist, etc.) will discuss how their neighborhoods were affected by district designation and the impact of new development.

Speakers:
Simeon Bankoff, Historic Districts Council
Lo van der Valk, Carnegie Hill Neighbors
Julia Schoeck, Douglaston/Little Neck Historical Society
Tom van den Bout, Brooklyn Heights Association
Sean Sweeney, SoHo Alliance
Moderated by Sherida Paulsen, FAIA, 2009 President, AIA New York
