Outlook

The Next-Generation Heritage Site

Heritage as Critical Public Infrastructure

The challenges facing heritage sites are almost identical to the challenges facing public infrastructure — and local governments own both.

Local Governments Own

A Vast Heritage Portfolio

  • Historic downtown districts
  • Heritage buildings & city halls
  • Courthouses & libraries
  • Museums & monuments
  • Historic cemeteries
  • Bridges & industrial heritage
  • Archaeological & indigenous sites
  • Memorials & landmark structures

Public Assets

Cities and counties own heritage portfolios worth hundreds of millions in replacement value — and they're answerable for every one.

Shared Workflows

A digital twin of a historic courthouse uses the same workflow as a digital twin of a water treatment plant.

Climate Resilience

Flooding, wildfire, coastal erosion and extreme heat threaten heritage and infrastructure alike. Digital records support resilience planning.

Economic Engine

Main Street districts, heritage corridors and landmark buildings drive tourism, wayfinding, accessibility and community engagement.

Board-Level Question

What do we own, what condition is it in, and what will it cost to maintain? It applies to a bridge, a sewer, a cathedral or a city hall.

Funding & Grants

Reality capture and GIS unlock federal preservation programs, resilience funding and infrastructure grants.

Dedicated Track

Heritage Assets as Critical Public Infrastructure

A dedicated programme connecting 130,000+ local government stakeholders with the geospatial leaders and conservation experts solving the same problems on civic estates.
