[MassHistPres] Urban Forum: Climate Change and Historic Preservation

[Alison Frazee]

*Urban Forum: Climate Change and Historic Preservation*

Boston cherishes its historic buildings as integral elements of its built
and cultural heritage. What can be done to prepare them for a new, wetter
Boston?

Recent storm surges turned the streets of the Fort Point Channel Landmark
District into rivers and Atlantic Avenue into a sea of mini-icebergs,
bringing home the reality of climate change.

It's no longer if or when, but now. Despite various discussions about the
effects of climate change on the city, few organized, public conversations
have broached how Boston's unique historic resources need to contend with
this new reality.

Join a group of policy, design, and engineering experts for a dialogue
about the challenges of stewardship in the era of climate change, necessary
actions being taken, and the particular impacts historic buildings must
address.
