Making the Case for Architectural Regeneration
The benefits of reuse include the intangible benefits of heritage to society and cultural identity, alongside measurable economic and environmental advantages. They also extend into the realm of personal and social wellbeing, as an involvement with the historic environment can contribute to feelings of personal self‐esteem and health, and provide access to social networks that are more prevalent in established neighbourhoods. Not all existing buildings are of great historic or indeed architectural value and it is not possible, feasible or desirable to conserve and reuse all existing buildings, and part of the renewal process may involve the demolition of existing structures alongside the addition of new buildings. Sustainability can be achieved through the imaginative and efficient reuse of the existing building stock and taking a holistic view that achieves a balance between economic, environmental, and social targets, rather than disproportionately favouring one over the other.
