| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on two historic preservation battles, the Otaru canal preservation in Hokkaido, Japan and the fight to save the Old Post Office and the Century Building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri U.S.A., this study provides clear answers to a series of pressing questions about preservationists: are they building-huggers, or are they obstacles to urban planning and urban renewal?
The conclusions are as follows: (1) The preservation movement was neither conservative nor an obstacle. Rather, the movement sought to promote changes in which the residents’ “place” would continue to be theirs. As such, the word “preservation” does not mean the prevention of growth and development, but rather its control. (2) Preservation allows for and can even promote change. I argue that preservation activists claimed that the Otaru Canal and the surrounding built environment must be saved because the loss of that environment would alter the character of the local community.
