The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has signed an agreement with a Chinese conservation body for joint development of heritage construction skills.
The institute has signed a ‘memorandum of understanding’ with the Suzhou Wudu Construction Investment Company, to work together on research, methodologies and training, and boost conservation expertise in China. The agreement allows for exchange of heritage experts for workshops and site visits.
There are 52 UNESCO World Heritage sites in China.
The agreement was signed by current CIOB president Rebecca Thompson, a conservation specialist who runs her own heritage consultancy.
