Focusing on historic preservation policies in the United States, Erica Avrami critiques the hierarchical structures that influence how value is assigned to buildings and neighborhoods. She introduces the concept of second-order preservation, advocating for a broader perspective that incorporates social justice, equitable land use, and environmental sustainability. By examining the evolution of heritage policy, Avrami highlights systemic exclusions and calls for reforms that address diverse community needs, ultimately aiming to align preservation practices with contemporary challenges of climate and justice.
