A Journey Through Time

Using adaptive heritage sites to create a sense of place and community cohesion.

This project addresses the effect of overshadowed urban heritage, due to urban sprawl and population growth, on community cohesion and sense of place. High Wycombe, a large commuter town in the south of Buckinghamshire, England, is exemplar of an incohesive community, which, due to development, has lost touch with the rich heritage of the town. Raising awareness of this heritage, through creating adaptive heritage sites, and improving the connectivity between the sites, will encourage community cohesion and the re-discovery of a sense of place.
