Join us for the 50th Annual Meeting of The New Haven Preservation Trust!

This year’s distinguished guest is Dr. Eric W. Allison, founder and Academic Coordinator of Pratt Institute’s graduate Historic Preservation program, and Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Architecture. Dr. Allison’s research interests are on the place of historic preservation in the creation and maintenance of livable cities and in the application of Complex Systems Theory to human society, including the future of cities, virtual communities, and the changing nature of the nation-state. He has taught at Pratt Institute since 1996. Dr. Allison has a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Historic Preservation from Columbia University and an M.S. in City & Regional Planning from Pratt Institute. Dr. Allison will speak on “Historic Preservation and the Livable City,” which is also the topic of his new book, released in January.
