Research thesis_ Preservation in urban scale_Comparison between different countries.
Hello Everyone!
I am currently working on my research thesis regarding preservation in urban scale and I would like some assistance.
I am interested in comparing the legislation about the protection of preserved buildings in different countries.
Particularly, I would like to know what age a building must be in order to be qualified to be declared as preserved in each of the following countries:
US, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, China, Japan .
However, if you have any information about other countries that are not mentioned above, I’m still interested :)
I actually have access to information for the first two countries ( US 50 + years, UK 30 + years, please let me know if I'm wrong) but it is hard for me to find out what is valid for the rest because I can't find anything relevant written in English.
So I guess, any assistance from individuals that are able to provide me with this information would be valuable.
In case you can find the information needed for any country, it would be extremely helpful, if you could attach any relevant link, containing this information, so I could use it as a reference in my research thesis (even if it is not written in English).
By the way in Greece it's 100+ years.
Thank you in advance for your time and interest! :)
I don't have a lot of information but I would look into Cuba and Havana especially as they are now grappling with the need for historic preservation as a way of ensuring their economic future as a tourist destination. A lot is changing since the US began lifting travel restrictions and there is now a city wide campaign to preserve historic architecture.
