Architectural Conservation and Environmental Sustainability: Conflict or Convergence?
There is a risk of an institutionalized separation between the goals of environmental sustainability and of architectural conservation within the planning system. Architectural conservation is not facing up to the challenge of sustainable development. Separation lingers in national guidance, and is echoed at local level by departmentalism and by a perception of architectural conservation as elitist. In this paper, the authors argue that conservation can and should use sustainability to support its case, and suggest ways to achieve better integration, including the potential role of the planning regime. Two projects, based on the redevelopment of historic buildings in Edinburgh, are presented as case studies to show how the goals can converge in practice.
