Historic Preservation in the Context of Environmental Law: Mutual Interest in Amenity

Abstract: Growing numbers of people believe that the solution to our current environmental and social condition requires an increased public regard for something called "amenity" in our daily lives. Yet, many others who still consider "amenity" frivolous are not convinced that respect for cultural, historical and natural values can provide an answer to man's psychological and biological needs. Fortunately, the developing body of environmental law provides significant help to the advocate of "amenity." Because it is based on cultural as well as ecological perspectives, the emerging body of environmental law and the popular movement behind it offers citizen groups new legal and political means to bring about broad public protection of "amenity."
