As part of the Asian Development Bank funded 2nd Corridor Towns Development Project. UL assessed key problems and opportunities for social and economic regeneration, conservation and environmental upgrading in the historic town of Kampot. The project included a strategy for the design and landscape of the Conservation Area and included:(i) the renovation and conservation of the historic buildings;

Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, United Kingdom.
Prior to UL foundation (at Directorship level) we played a key role in complementing the status of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site (WHS), leading a series of conservation studies in support of Amber Valley District, one of two key local authorities within the WHS. The core objective of these studies was to protect industrial heritage and to lay the foundations for subsequent investment and regeneration. Outputs included:
(i) the designation of a series of new conservation areas in Belper Town and the industrial villages, Crich, Holloway and Milford;
(ii) designation of buildings of architectural and historic interest; and
(iii) promotion of building and public realm restoration.
