Contested Spaces and the Creation of Heritage
Discussion No. 1 | Tuesday, June 26th, 6:30PM-8:00PM – Refreshments to follow
Heritage sites are culturally complex, where the meaning of a place often differs between groups and individuals. A place’s value – whether historical, cultural, architectural, natural, social or economic – can be comprised of both physical and intangible elements.
In order to fully appreciate, learn from, and gain inspiration from our heritage sites, they require thoughtful planning and management that accounts for the numerous ways that a place can have significance for people. This panel discussion is an open forum to discuss the complexities of heritage sites and contemplate ways to approach the intricacies of a sense of place.
This panel discussion is part of a year-long series that will explore places with contested values in Toronto and how contemporary social values should contribute to the evolving concepts of heritage value and significance.
