Vacant buildings form a serious threat for the sustainable preservation of the heritage. Many unused monumental buildings suffer from neglect because the costs of maintenance and are threatened by demolition. From a social point of view, vacancy is also undesirable: vacant buildings mean a loss of capital in property and pose a threat to the quality of life around them. In addition, there is a great unmet need for housing in our society, and we want to build on the remaining open space as little as possible.

From an environmental perspective redevelopment is also preferable to demolition and/or new construction. Moreover, renovated monumental buildings often act as a powerful engine for development of an area because they provide the area with an identity from the outset.
