This illustrated report summarizes the findings of a 1979 ACHP study on the contributions of historic preservation activities to urban revitalization. The data were derived from studying four historic districts - Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia; The Strand in Galveston, Texas; the Savannah Historic District in Georgia; and Pioneer Square in Seattle, Washington. The report summarizes the esthetic, economic, and social benefits of historic preservation in each district. 

In March 2014, the ACHP published Managing Change: Preservation and Rightsizing in America, a report addressing rightsizing and historic preservation in America's legacy cities .It offers community leaders, local stakeholders, and government agencies valuable suggestions on using historic preservation tools and techniques that have proven effective in managing change and building strong, resilient communities.

This ACHP report from 1981 examines historic preservation tools that can be used to protect and revitalize neighborhoods. The study looks at: historic district ordinances; federal environmental review laws (including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act); code enforcement; easements; revolving funds; property tax relief; federal tax incentives; and federal and nonprofit assistance.
