Historic: The Economics of Historic Preservation

Since it was first published in 1994, the Economics of Historic Preservation has become an essential reference for any preservationist faced with convincing government officials, developers, property owners, business and community leaders, or his or her own neighbors that preservation strategies can make good economic sense. Author Donovan D. Rypkema - real estate consultant and nationally known speaker and writer - makes his case with 100 “arguments” on the economic benefits of historic preservation, each backed up by one or more quotes from a study, paper, publication, speech, or report. www.preservationbooks.org
