  • World Monuments Fund Names Jonathan S. Bell As Vice President of Programs
    WORLD MONUMENTS FUND NAMES JONATHAN S. BELL AS VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMS New York, NY, March 4, 2020– World Monuments Fund (WMF) today announced Jonathan S. Bell as its new Vice President of Programs. Dr. Bell will be the first individual to hold this newly created position. Since 1965, WMF has partnered with local stakeholders to safeguard more than 600 sites worldwide, including Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia; the Forbidden City’s Qianlong Garden in Beijing, China; and Civil Rights sites across Alabama in the United States. Dr. Bell, who comes to the organization from the National Geographic Society, has spent over twenty years collaborating with national and local governments to develop conservation and management strategies for cultural heritage sites and infrastructure around the world. Over his career, he has worked with the Getty Conservation Institute on World Heritage Sites in China and Egypt, evaluated cultural site management from Kazakhstan to Colombia, and has overseen strategic planning for largescale flood infrastructure for the County of Los Angeles. Bell serves on multiple ICOMOS scientific committees as an expert member and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Architectural Conservation. Currently, Dr. Bell serves as the Director of the Human Journey Initiative at National Geographic Society, where he oversees a portfolio of projects that highlight the origins of humankind and contribute to the protection of humanity’s legacy. In addition to working closely with some of the world’s leading paleoanthropologists and geneticists to further research on human origins, Bell has helped launch a new program focused on cultural heritage that will highlight the significance of historic sites and the threats they face for a broad public, while also contributing to local capacity-building in documentation and conservation approaches.

    A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING ©2012 Erica Christine Avrami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Robert W. Lake and approved by ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Systems Approach to Historic Preservation in an Era of Sustainability Planning by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI Dissertation Director: Robert W. Lake, Ph.D. The public outcry over large scale urban renewal projects of the mid-20th century served a catalytic role in the codification of the modern historic preservation movement in the United States. While theories of heritage and its protection underpinned policy development, the discourse surrounding the loss of historic fabric and the fracturing of communities within American cities played a critical role in the institutionalization of the field. It effectively pitted preservation as a counter movement against the public and private interests seeking social progress through rational planning paradigms. The modern preservation infrastructure – including institutions, legislation, and policies – is now half a century old, but the conceptual dynamics that isolated preservation from other land use decision-making at the juncture of its institutionalization persist. The disjuncture between preservation and broader land use and building policies presents new challenges in light of contemporary sustainability concerns.
