Historic New England and Boston University's Initiative on Cities and American and New England Studies Program are pleased to announce a symposium on

Directions in 21st Century Preservation
The Dynamic City: Futures for the Past

Friday April 1st and Saturday April 2nd, 2016
8 St. Mary's Street, 9th floor Colloquium Room
The Boston University Photonics Center
Boston, MA 02215

Are preservation, diversity, and affordability mutually exclusive in urban America? How can neighborhood identity and community be preserved while engaging with the opportunities of globalization? What should be saved in attempts to build and maintain a fair and equitable city?

The Dynamic City: Futures for the Past will examine the urban history of New England and its relationships within a global context. The conference will explore questions that bridge the divide between study and praxis in design, sustainability and preservation.
