Historic Preservation and the Dynamic Urban Environment

It’s no secret that American cities are enjoying a 21st century renaissance.

Meeks, President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will present compelling new research on the social and economic impact of older buildings, and talk about the critical role historic buildings play—in New York and across the country—in creating jobs, strengthening neighborhoods, spurring revitalization, expanding prosperity and improving quality of life.
