Historic preservation is the practice of identifying and conserving, often through legal ordinances, historic properties, buildings, homes, public spaces, and other historically meaningful sites. Planners and policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels are often tasked with balancing the preservation of historic resources with the housing and infrastructure needs of growing cities.
