The course will consider both individual and collective historic places (e.g., buildings, historic districts) in a variety of geographical and physical contexts.  Planning will be addressed within the frameworks of economics, sustainability, and ethics. The instructor will draw illustrations from his practice as a professional heritage planner, as well as from the broader experience of heritage planning in Canada and internationally. This is not a general introduction to heritage conservation, nor is it a course on conservation architecture or technology.
