Landmarks: Politics, Planning, Programs and Progress

Apr 28, 1998


Preservationist Barbaralee Diamonstein leads a moderated panel discussion about landmark preservation in cities. Panelists include J. Carter Brown, director emeritus of the U.S. National Gallery of Art; Sam Roberts, deputy editor of The New York Times’ “Week in Review”; Rebecca Robertson, Vice President for Real Estate and Special Projects at the Shubert Organization; Jerry Speyer, president and CEO of Tishman Speyer Properties; architect Robert A.M. Stern; Deborah Wright, president and CEO of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone; and Kenneth T. Jackson, the Jacques Barzun Professor of History and Social Sciences at Columbia University. Panelists discuss the New York City Landmarks Law of 1965 as well as preservation as it relates to urban development and design, the economy, and the environment. The discussion is followed by audience questions. This event is part of a symposium series about landmark preservation, presented by the New York Historical Society in conjunction with the release of Barbaralee Diamonstein’s 1998 book, The Landmarks of New York III.
