I am looking for studies and articles that can shed light on the development of public policies for the conservation of historical heritage in cities and local communities. Contributions are most welcome.
Stubbs, M. (2004). Heritage-sustainability: developing a methodology for the sustainable appraisal of the historic environment. Planning Practice & Research, 19(3), 285-305.
I recommend these for a really good lecture on the subject. The last one touches the middle and upper classes in local communities. Enjoy.

A good discussion on How the American West Was Lost , a book title I am sort of working on, may be found at https://www.opb.org/show/timberwars/ of a small Oregon County where the two largest taxpayers are really a one huge multinational cartel that is an alliance of business rivals who put the whole business of commercial tree farming into individual (foreign) investor friendly Real Exchange Investment Trusts that are a masterpiece of avoiding local taxes. To appreciate the discrimination of local backyard business persons, as the last of the "gyppo-loggers" and "old quarter-breed" and "gabby-prospectors" with an answer to Climate Change problems with a new/old Roman concrete as found @theprospector.com.
I can recommend "Cultural Heritage: Economic Analysis and Public Policy" a chapter in "Handbook of the Economics of Art and Culture" vol 1, (2006) Pages 983-1016, by IldeRizzo & DavidThrosby.
Throsby is an Emeritus Professor at my university who has written extensively on the economics of cultural heritage.
