Planning
Surveying Pingyao Ancient City, China.
A master plan is prepared for each project to define the objectives, priorities and specific steps required for its successful completion. These plans carefully consider scientific conservation needs, local community needs and formal partnerships for financial and management support—the other three components of Preservation by Design®—to define measures of project success including long-term and short-term site preservation, enhanced legal protection, excellence in science and transfer of responsibility. Developed in concert with local, national and international partners, the master plans incorporate adaptive management, risk assessment, quality assurance, progress assessment and monitoring after project completion. Adoption of the master plan itself is one measure of success.
