Forum 2004

The challenges of urban infill architecture within
a historic community

Fleet and Congress StreetsThe Portsmouth Advocates presented its first Community Forum in 1994, bringing historians, preservationists and members of the community together for a day and a half of in-depth discussion on topics vital to our city. The first Forum was so successful that Strawbery Banke and the Greater Piscataqua Community Fund joined in the planning, financing and presentation of future year forums.

Past topics have included:

  • 1994 - People, Prosperity, and Place: A Community Forum on Architecture, Preservation, Development, and the Seacoast Economy
  • 1995 - Currents of Change: Is There a Future in the Past?
  • 1996 - Shaping the City: Sprawl, Malls, and Automobiles
  • 1997 - Searching for the Ties That Bind
  • 1998 - Face to Face: Public Places and the Life of the Community
  • 1999 - The Arts: Lifeblood of Portsmouth
  • 2000 - Preserving Character in the Age of Big
