Q: I
am writing
a dissertation
on the role
of heritage
regeneration
and was wondering
how Leicester
Regeneration
Company was
incorporating
it into its
work?
A: LRC
sees the
heritage
of Leicester
as very important
for it’s
the city’s
identity
and as a
key factor
in attracting
tourism.
Although
our projects
do not directly
involve the
regeneration
of historic
buildings,
where those
buildings
are of quality,
we seek to
integrate
them into
our proposals
(for example,
the new office
development
at the former
Police Station
on Charles
Street).
We
are also
co-sponsoring
a Project
Officer in
the City
who is working
to develop
heritage-driven
opportunities.
