Topic: MAIN STREET AS OLD GROWTH FOREST uses analogies from the environmental conservation and the ecology movements to describe the value of our rapidly disappearing Main Streets with regard to their types, states, complexity, diversity and other attributes. Main Streets that are still the retail core of their communities (steady state) are compared to those in decline or rehabilitated through preservation.

Presenter: Catherine Nasmith is a practicing architect; President of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, ACO Toronto Branch; Jane Jacobs Winner (2010); and publisher of Built Heritage News. She has been observing main streets since the 1980s.
