LANDESIGN: historic preservation international preservation

"This class will consider the subject of development and preservation in large cities (and other places) and will examine this interaction from an international perspective, considering case studies in the United States (with an emphasis on New York City) and Italy (with discussion of Naples and Pompeii). New York City has some of the leading cases in the United States of development triumphing over preservation (e.g., demolition of Penn Central Station) as well as opposite situations (e.g., preservation of Grand Central Station). The same is true in Italy, including Naples and Pompeii". (D. Listokin, 2019
