Why Preservation Matters

 
By preserving the old, we can make room for new stories for people who have felt forgotten or excluded from their history.
— Allows us to address injustices
When simply walking down our streets transports us back in time, we are better able to appreciate and understand the legacies that have shaped us.
— Turns our cities into history museums
Through preservation, we can lessen our carbon footprint by lessening the wasted energy that comes along with renovation and new builds.
— Supports environmentalism and sustainability.
