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. https://t.co/O2KS1GjduB

Really pleased to see the paperback edition of our book is now out. This edited collection introduces a number of people-centred methodologies that can help us to better capture and understand our attachments to historic urban places

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!!!

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, argues @jameslesh.

James notes that 'the very idea of 'historic heritage' is out-of-date.'
