Other Matters PHT Annual Report 2010 2 President’s Message 2010 During the past year Penang’s heritage has been at the forefront of news and debates over the future development of the state’s cultural landscapes. While a great deal has been achieved to advance the cause of sustainable conservation and to mark Penang’s importance as a globally-recognised heritage site it is equally true to say that there have been setbacks and unresolved problems. As a result, the very meaning of heritage is coming under increasing scrutiny. There have been a number of unadulterated successes. The World Heritage Inc was established; a baseline George Town Land Use and Population Survey was completed and a special area plan begun; and, an abundance of restoration and documentation projects were stimulated by Think City grants. On the cultural front, the George Town Festival was fabulously celebrated for a whole month, showcasing the abundance of local creative talent.
