ABSTRACT In 2000 the (then) English Heritage was asked to lead on a review of policies relating to the historic environment in England. Rather than simply draft something in isolation, English Heritage launched a wide-ranging and inclusive engagement process involving the private sector, natural and cultural heritage organisations, faith groups and many others supported by a MORI survey of peoples’ attitudes to the historic environment and the value they placed on it. The resulting document, Power of Place – the future of the historic environment, anticipated many issues that have subsequently become mainstream elements of policy and practice including conservation-led regeneration, tackling heritage at risk, reviewing public parks and publishing regular state of the historic environment reports. Other recommendations still remain challenging in policy terms – including encouraging better maintenance, promoting craft skills, putting heritage at the heart of education, understanding what people value and why, enabling more participation, managing change, making the regulatory system work better and supporting local leaders. This article simply sets out to raise awareness of that initiative, as a contribution to the history of heritage policyin England.

地方的力量-新千年之初的遗产政策

摘要2000年（当时）英国文化遗产被要求带头审查与英格兰历史环境有关的政策。英国文化遗产不是简单地孤立地起草一些东西，而是发起了一个广泛而包容的参与过程，涉及私营部门，自然和文化遗产组织，信仰团体以及许多其他人，这些活动得到了MORI对人们对历史环境和环境的态度的调查的支持。重视他们放在上面。产生的文件《地方的力量–历史环境的未来》预见了许多问题，这些问题随后已成为政策和实践的主流元素，包括以保护为主导的再生，应对有风险的遗产，审查公园并发布历史环境的常规状态报告。其他建议在政策上仍然具有挑战性–包括鼓励更好的维护，提高工艺技能，将传统作为教育的核心，理解人们的价值观和原因，促进更多的参与，管理变革，使监管体系更好地工作以及为当地领导人提供支持。本文只是着眼于提高人们对该计划的认识，为英格兰遗产政策的历史做出贡献。
