“…For this reason, traditional landscapes, symbolic places, and places linked to one's person or relevant to group identity are much more frequently and effectively protected. A sense of place promotes spatial stability and builds identity by resisting potential change [55,56]. The landscape is an essential component of a sense of place, so nurturing traditional layouts and view is a natural manifestation of a sense of place.…”

Current spatial changes involving broad urban landscapes affect people’s perceptions of their surroundings, sense of place, and attachment to a place, constituting a disruption to these. As a result, on a social scale, they translate into people’s well-being. The following study of the impact of large-scale architectural and urban developments on the place of residence is based on the assumption that physical space determines the quality of life in the living place and the changes in the process condition residents to adapt to their new surroundings—based on the three pillars of place, people, and process (3Ps). The article consists of two parts. The first is theoretical, which conceptualises spatial change based on the theory of human dependence on place. The second part–an empirical study—discusses the transformation of the post-industrial area of Bicocca (Milan), which, 40 years after the intervention, has led to conclusions and recommendations for urban planning. The results demonstrate the different sensitivities of the urban areas to the process of functional–spatial change, the essence of the accessibility of public space, public facilities, and transport infrastructure. The planning process can positively influence social adaptation to spatial change mitigation. Residential areas may be subject to additional protection procedures. The study is relevant to a sustainable planning process in the inevitable transformation of urban areas. The interdisciplinary nature of the issue prompts the integration of research findings and knowledge transfer in the socio-technological subsystem (STS).

“…However, some claim that preservation, or specifically historic designation, does not always lead to gentrification or may not be the only cause of higher property values (Coulson and Leichenko 2004; Noonan 2007). According to Datel and Dingemans (1994), not only does historic preservation not always lead to gentrification but it in fact may help maintain a diverse identity, depending on the specific characteristics of the area. As part of a countermove against impending renewal plans, Ingram (2016) describes residents engaging in heritage arts programs in several historically significant, low-income urban neighborhoods in France.…”

Social justice and housing issues are clearly an area of concern for sociologists, yet preservation of older homes and buildings may seem to be the very antithesis, evoking images of homes of the nation's elite or neighborhood gentrification by the white upper middle class. Often preserved historic sites do not fully represent members of the community, past or present. Despite increasing efforts at inclusion, marginalization of groups can still be found in the practice of historic preservation. The ideology and practice of preserving chosen heritage sites and buildings and protecting them from destruction or deterioration offer sociologists a unique window into social inequalities. In this article, we explore the intricacies of preserving the buildings and heritage of a former Finntown, a once thriving community of Finnish-American working-class immigrants and now home to a sizable population of Latino working-class immigrants. Inclusive, multilayered historic preservation can be a source of social justice if honoring the past does not sacrifice the needs of marginalized groups in the present.
