East Zone in collaboration with the National Scientific Committee of Historic Towns and Villages (NSC HTV) is planning to host a series of webinars on ‘Resilient and Sustainable Development of Historic Precincts and Areas’ . The theme for the inaugural webinars on 27th and 28th August 2020 is Concepts, Frameworks, Needs and Experiences - Focus West Bengal . Emerging Professionals Working Group is also supporting the webinars.
There are several acts in West Bengal, in respect of heritage resources, but lack of proper definition of heritage precinct and areas and a rational approach for grading and its implications as a part of the acts, often lead to ambiguity and complications. In view of several initiatives by public bodies, NGOs and local organisations in West Bengal, the proposed webinars will focus on emerging issues addressing alternatives based on inclusive participatory approach, heritage economics and development, to arrive at new directives for historic areas and precincts-an often under-debated subject.
