Cultural Heritage
At Gentek Consult we think of the historic environment as a resource that we put to work in our development proposals for new housing, city centres, parks and regeneration areas.
Our archaeologists and conservation specialists explain how historic buildings and spaces reflect the character and soul of a place and how they can be cared for so that they can be enjoyed by future generations. We help to revitalise historic town centres, bring public parks back to life, and develop buildings of the future that complement and distinguish our older structures.
People love history and archaeology. The success of television programmes that tell us about the past - how our buildings, towns and landscapes have developed - show how important people consider these issues to be.
Our heritage and the historic environment are positive forces. They have a great deal to contribute to how we live as individuals and as a community, they tell us how our most valued assets, features and places have developed and why. Understanding the history of a place helps explain its character, its vitality, and the quality of its environment.
