Notre lady shines after 1 billion renovation: Who decides on our legacy?

Notre Dame, Paris, Frankreich - After almost six years of silence, the Paris emergency lady finally opens its doors again! After a huge reconstruction of $ 1 billion, which became necessary after the devastating fire, France celebrates the return of this iconic landmark. But while the reopening is celebrated, a burning question is boiling: Why do some architectural treasures get the necessary attention and resources, while others are forgotten?

The discussion about the value of the cultural heritage is re-lived up by the return of the emergency lady. Who decides which story should be preserved? This debate is taken up by Leopold Lambert, the architect and editor -in -chief of The Funambulist, in a new episode of "The Take". The episode illuminates the inequalities in monument conservation and the often arbitrary decisions about what is considered valuable.
