Keeping Up with What Matters: Changing Approaches to Heritage Protection in England

Roger Bowdler, Director of Listing, Historic England (formerly English Heritage)

Thursday, April 5, 6:30 pm
New York University Department of Art History
Silver Center, Room 300
100 Washington Square East (entrance on Waverly Place)

It has been a time of change in the ways the historic environment is regarded. On the plus side, most people now see characterful historic neighborhoods as assets to be cherished. On the other hand, people are less prepared to accept top-down control and it is a challenge to keep up with modern values about what deserves protection. Roger Bowdler has just stood down from being director of listing at Historic England, the English government’s advisory body on the historic environment, where he was responsible for keeping the National Heritage List for England (a bit like the National Register) and all new recommendations for inclusion.

Sponsored by the NYU M.A. in Historical and Sustainable Architecture, and the Society of Architectural Historians, New York Metropolitan Chapter
