This issue cropped up in another recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/wiki\/World_heritage_site\">world heritage site<\/a>\u00a0designation: the English Lake District. There is a school of thought, led by George Monbiot of The Guardian, that it should not have been designated because of its long history of ecological degradation. But this misses the point that historic agricultural practice, the call of the wild for walkers and the romanticisation of the place by the lake poets are all part of the designated heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Erosion by three-peak challengees, as with New Zealand\u2019s Milford Trail and other bucket-list adventures, is a matter for management, just as it is for historic cities. So I have some sympathy with the views of Liverpool\u2019s Lord Mayor, Joe Anderson, in wanting heritage to be a driver and not an inhibitor of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/wiki\/Regeneration\">regeneration<\/a>. Of course, the opposing perspectives of the city and Unesco should be capable of resolution.<\/p>\n<p>One hopes that the recently established task force will be able to achieve this, whether or not its formation was driven by the dogged campaigning of the late Gavin Stamp writing as Piloti in Private Eye.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/wiki\/Conservation_in_the_heritage_cities_of_Venice_and_Liverpool\">See the DBW article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IHBC Chair James Caird\u2019s recent Context article \u2013 \u2018When history\u2019s mistakes become today\u2019s heritage\u2019 \u2013 has been featured to the 9000 registered users on the email Newsletter of Designing Buildings Wiki (DBW), host partner of the IHBC\u2019s Conservation Wiki, and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=20038\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20040,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20038\/revisions\/20040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
