You are hereby invited to attend a virtual symposium titled: “Heritage Issues in Southern Africa’s Changing Inner City Environments” The symposium will take place on 7th November 2024 at 13h15.  

The old CBDs of Southern Africa’s cities have all undergone substantial change over the recent past. They are no longer the focus of the economic life of these cities, in some cases causing notable decline.  Buildings that were considered to be prime investments have often become derelict and abandoned.

These are often historic environments associated with the founding and origin of these cities. Amongst the dilapidation, abandonment and vandalism are sites of major historical and architectural significance. What is to be done in this difficult context is the issue that is central to this symposium.

The symposium will include a number of presentations, reflecting experience of the South African situation as well as in other countries .  

A detailed programme is attached below this notice.

The following speakers will be presenting: Dr Stephen Townsend, Helene Potgieter, Agnes Shiningayamwe, Bryan Wintermeyer and Brian McKechnie with Brendan Hart.
