Sustainability has three pillars — environmental, economic, social — and a good heritage strategy supports every one of them. This event explores how the revitalization of our existing built environment can help to achieve smart growth, conserve energy
and resources, and add to the cultural and economic health of a community.

Speakers and workshops will illustrate how the revitalization of ‘old towns’ is helping to achieve sustainable communities.

Speakers include:

John Knott, President and co-founder, Noisette Company. Noisette is the 3,000-acre historic centre of North Charleston, South Carolina, which is being re-shaped into a sustainable community

Richard Linzey, Acting Manager, Heritage Programs, Heritage Branch, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts

Shana Johnstone, Manager, Smart Growth on the Ground (SGOG), Smart Growth BC

Steve Barber, Heritage Planner, Planning and Development Department, City of Victoria

Liz Dunn, Consulting Director, Preservation Green Lab, National Trust for Historic Preservation; and others.
