Special Podcast Series: Healthy, Hip & Historic: Contextualizing Preservation During an International Pandemic

03/23/2020
By Meagan Baco

As COVID-19 has changed the everyday ways that we interact with each other and our communities, it’s clear that our environment has important physical and psychological effects on us all.

Preservation addresses the physical material of our built environment – and those materials’ potential positive or negative health impacts – so too, does preservation address an emotional connection to a time and place in history.

This unique special podcast series on PreserveCast will feature five preservation visionaries that will place our preservation work in a broader context, identify challenges, and illuminate solutions for linking historic preservation and healthy communities.

VOICES IN THE SERIES

• Storm Cunningham, Publisher of Revitalization News, “What the Future Holds for Historic Preservation and Community Revitalization”
• Dr. Jeremy C. Wells, Univerisity of Maryland, School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation, “People, Old Places, and Health”
• Dr. Mimi Narayan, Health Impact Project, The Pew Charitable Trusts, “Preserving History, Promoting Health”
• Jim Lindberg, National Trust for Historic Preservation, “Making Preservation the New Normal”
• Greg Werkheiser, Cultural Heritage Partners, LLP, “The Future of History”

Together, we will come through the worst, and we too, will become a part of Maryland’s history.
