Landscape, as a representation of history, is вЂњnot only observed, read or understood,вЂќ it is вЂњpracticed.вЂќ 1 For those working in the realms of historic preservation, planning, and urban policy, there is as much to learn from the pathologies of this power as there is from its judicious use. No matter how much historical narratives are challenged or reinterpreted in prose or imagery, spatial encounters bear repeated witness to particular ideas of self and community that are profoundly experiential. The decisive use of space has power: it determines which publics and stories can stake a claim in the landscape and be encountered. Spatial encounters within the built environment have power the narratives such encounters represent shape our understanding of who we are and who we can be.

This requires professionals and institutions to consider systemic policy change with integrity, sensitivity, and intentionality.Д«ringing together a broad range of academics, historians, and practitioners, this second volume in the Issues in Preservation Policy series documents historic preservationвЂ™s progress toward inclusivity and explores further steps to be taken. Recognizing how preservation and other land use decisions can both empower and marginalize publics compels greater reflection on preservationвЂ™s past and future and collective action beyond the project level. Community engagement is increasingly being integrated into project-based preservation practice, but the policy toolbox has been slower to evolve. Increasingly, the field of preservation is being challenged to consider questions of social inclusion, of how multiple publics are-or are not-represented in heritage decision-making, geographies, and governance structures. The preservation enterprise helps fashion the physical contours of memory in public space, and thus has the power to curate a multidimensional and inclusive representation of societal values and narratives.
