His talk on conservation and preservation of industrial heritage worldwide was presented as the 2010 Heritage Address, in collaboration with Museum Victoria.

Topics include:

• Conservation in central business districts, where the pressure for development was strongest.
• People and communities have a highly developed sense of space and ownership, and like to be included in planning, debate and policies about the future
• The crucial development of travel and modern production processes
• Industrial heritage as monuments of the modern world - cotton mills, gasworks, train stations, factories, ships and shipping infrastructure, bridges
