Los Angeles (USA): A heritage action plan

Port-city interfaces are constantly changing. However, it is possible to establish a connection between the past and the future by identifying and preserving the aspects of the port that hold heritage or other value. To do this, it’s important to evaluate what constitutes the port’s heritage and which factors should be considered for preservation. This evaluation may encourage stakeholders to assess the benefits of preserving and reusing the port’s heritage. By doing so, they can reinforce the port’s identity and differentiate their project from other similar operations worldwide. The Port of Los Angeles reinforced this idea by creating a specific plan to assess its heritage values.
