As Jacobs wrote in The Death and Life of Great American Cities, “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” Preservation certainly comes at a cost, but it helps protect both historically important physical structures and immaterial qualities that cannot be replicated in many redeveloped neighborhoods. There are always trade-offs, so cities must find the right mix of preservation and economic value to ensure that neighborhoods can protect what makes them great, but also ensure that they still provide something for everybody.
