Newcastle批准拆除历史零售街, 暴露出政策差距, 无法保护具有凝聚力的遗产区。
Newcastle approved demolitions of historic retail streets, revealing a policy gap that fails to protect cohesive heritage districts.
Newcastle正在努力保护像Maitland Road这样的历史零售街,
Newcastle is struggling to protect its historic retail streets like Maitland Road, where individual buildings may lack standout value but collectively form irreplaceable heritage.
尽管提出了专家建议并进行了维护这些建议的倡导,但该市还是批准了拆除行动,暴露出政策上的一个空白:对每栋建筑物的保护进行评估,而不是作为具有凝聚力的地区的一部分。
Despite expert recommendations and advocacy to preserve them, the city approved demolitions, exposing a gap in policy: protection is assessed per building, not as part of cohesive districts.
倡导者敦促将遗产保护区扩大到没有列入清单的街道,如纳尔逊街和老年人街,并允许在保存的外墙后面进行较高密度的发展,使保护在经济上是可行的。
Advocates urge expanding heritage conservation areas to unlisted streets such as Nelson Street and Elder Street, and allowing higher-density development behind preserved facades to make preservation economically viable.
这种方法可以振兴零售空间、支持住房和公共交通,并保护该城市正在衰落的历史结构。
This approach could revitalize retail spaces, support housing and public transport, and safeguard the city’s fading historic fabric.
