Abstract
Historic Preservation Districts have ensured that broad swaths of American cities contain carefully maintained historic structures. Such districts have served as a form of exclusionary zoning, limiting access by contributing to inflated property values and attracting upper middle class and wealthy residents. This paper examines American historic preservation practices in an international context, arguing that Americans seeking inclusive models of historic preservation need to look beyond their national boundaries.
