Recycling of Obsolete Buildings
Recycling of obsolete buildings is discussed as an increasingly attractive means of providing distinctive, high-quality, and economically viable space and as a way of preserving a city's architecture. The report was prepared by the Urban Coalition, a consortium of 34 urban governments working together with Federal officials and private industry to encourage the development and transfer of products and systems that address pressing urban problems. Factors stimulating and enhancing the climate for recycling are examined, and issues in the recycling of obsolete buildings are explored. The following issues are identified: awareness of the hidden assets of obsolete buildings, physical conditions, government regulatory controls, economics of recycling, and financing. Approaches to recycling are described, including government reuse, government leasing, a city serving as the middleman, positive regulatory tools, removal of bureaucratic barriers, public improvements, financial incentives, tax relief, Federal programs, and Federal legislation. Areas in need of further research are specified. A selected bibliography is provided.
