+921HeritageTalks is a project of Pakistan Chowk Community Center (PCCC), founded and conceptualized by Arch. Marvi Mazhar, where we are going to hold discussions and webinars every six months with panelists to discuss their field experience and research.The concepts regarding preservation and the future of heritage have evolved considerably over time. Heritage initially referred exclusively to monumental remains only, however with time the parameters of what is considered as heritage have expanded to embrace living and contemporary cultures.In the age of urbanization, a very important question that arises in the context of rapidly urbanizing cities is: How important is it to preserve heritage sites for future generations? If yes, then how can we develop resources and sustainable conservation plans needed to protect shared heritage, when both do not exist on a governmental level. In Karachi’s context, the preservation largely comes under the Sindh Cultural Heritage Act 1994, which still hasn’t been utilized to its full potential due to the lack of interest shown by the authorities. Arif Hassan, referring to Karachi, expressed, “While affection for buildings and history exists in the city, there is no respect for their conservation.” Furthermore he has reiterated in his books that due to the negligence of government and stakeholders the heritage sites of pakistan are rapidly deteriorating. What accounts for such neglect on a state level? Moreover, what role can citizens and communities play in preserving their heritage sites?
