The proposal aims to protect Denmark’s building heritage by implementing measures that ensure historic buildings reflect the country’s cultural heritage. Key actions include updating planning laws, allocating funds for preservation, and establishing a working group to assess the value and conservation possibilities of protected and preservation-worthy buildings.
The legislation highlights the historical significance of Denmark’s architectural heritage, noting that both protected and preservation-worthy buildings collectively represent the country’s cultural legacy. Despite existing laws, many valuable buildings are at risk due to inadequate state funding and local administrative challenges.
The document calls for an increase in financial support, tax incentives for restoration, and improved documentation of historic urban areas. It underscores the need for immediate action to prevent the loss of invaluable cultural heritage, advocating for a balanced approach that involves both national and local efforts to maintain and enhance Denmark’s historic environments.
