%T Regenerating Pretoria's historical core: heritage as an asset for inner city development
%U http://openarchive.icomos.org/id/eprint/1302/
%X The regeneration historical city centres requires an institutional framework to provide favourable conditions for appropriate private investments. The case of Pretoria shows that private investment can also precede (and provoke?) public intervention while capitalising on the iconic value some heritage structures present. In both approaches the main challenge is to identify and use development potentials of the historical features at stake.
