Summary
The establishment and operations of the Edinburgh New Town Conservation Committee (ENTCC) over four decades successfully preserved Edinburgh's New Town, preventing its decline. This collaborative effort, driven by shared interests, technical expertise, friendship, and leadership, culminated in the committee's integration into Edinburgh World Heritage in 1999. The paper highlights ENTCC's approach to conservation through a case study of Fettes Row, which received royal approval, underscoring the committee's impact on architectural heritage preservation.
