The Hackney Society Debate: Sustainability vs Conservation

by Jamie on May 16, 2010

Just a quick note to say that the Hackney Society have organised a debate on sustainability vs conservation.

It’s a tricky issue – how do we turn the thousands of beautiful, historic homes in Hackney into very low and zero carbon homes without spoiling them?
