The Value of Heritage and the Heritage of Value - Professor Simon Thurley CBE

There was a time when old places were valued simply for their beauty and interest. https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-value-of-heritage-and-the-heritage-of-value

Since the 1980s, for many, this is not enough. There is now a whole industry calculating the financial contribution of our history to everything from climate change to health. Have these calculations added to the value of our heritage or have they fundamentally devalued it. Is it time to develop a new argument as to why we should care about our historic environment?

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-value-of-heritage-and-the-heritage-of-value
