"There is little incentive for builders to practice waste minimization unless costs increase for recyclable materials and/or
dumping, or regulations change."

Urban Ecology and Heritage Preservation - Case Study
CASE STUDY on greening through preservation
| Barclay Heritage Square |
 |
An entire city block of Edwardian-era houses in Vancouver’s
West End was scheduled for demolition for a city park.
Instead, Heritage Canada lobbied the City to retain the
buildings and create a common green space. Today, Barclay
Heritage Square consists of 12 heritage buildings, including
the 1893 Roedde
House. It serves as an oasis of green amidst surrounding
concrete highrises. Heritage Canada, the Vancouver Arts
Council and the British Columbia Heritage Trust funded
the project.
For more details, check out Heritage Canada’s Advocacy
Action Handbook or read Janet Bingham’s More than
a House: The Story of Roedde House and Barclay Heritage
Square (Vancouver: Roedde House Preservation Society,
1996).
