Rooted and Relevant: How Heritage Shapes Identity

Heritage is often discussed in terms of preservation, yet its deeper value lies in how it shapes identity, belonging and meaning in the built environment.
Rooted and Relevant will explore the role of heritage in contemporary placemaking, asking how historic context can ground development while remaining resonant for modern audiences.
Is heritage too often absent from placemaking conversations? What is lost when identity is treated as a marketing exercise rather than something embedded in the cultural and physical fabric of a place?
