This will be a background research section for an Urban Planning capstone project that deals with historic preservation and has an emphasis on historic districts (especially in smaller towns). It should include sections on the history of commercial main street districts, preservation history and best practices for creating districts, federal legislation and case law (legal tools for historic preservation), intervention approaches (preservation, restoration, rehabilitation and reconstruction) and the benefits of preservation (including sustainability aspects). At least 7 sources are required and it needs to include at least one academic journal, a brief summary of one relevant plan, and a brief summary of one relevant case study.
Some good sources to use:
PlacesJournal.org
SavingPlaces.org
Journal of the American Planning Association
Planning Theory & Practice
National Park Service U.S. Dept. of the Interior
Future Anterior
