The Centre for Heritage, with funding from the Eastern Academic Research Consortium (ARC) Event Fund is hosting a conference on ‘Managing Change Urban Heritage Between Conservation and Development’ at the University of Kent on 20 and 21 June 2016 in Keynes Lecture Theatre 5.

The conference aims to facilitate a critical interdisciplinary dialogue that directly broaches emergent questions and research on the following issues:

• How do we both conserve urban sites and embrace development?
• What are the existing operational strategies for managing change and ‘preserving’ urban heritage in the long-term?
• What are the primary challenges that urban conservation currently faces?
• What role can digital technology play in this context?

The keynote speakers at the conference include Professor Elizabeth Brabec from UMass University and Dr Ana Pereira Roders from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
