Social values

Social value is about people and place. Places are powerful. They are full of meaning. There are fleeting glimpses of the past at every turn. Such places link us to our pasts and to our future. For those within a culture who know of and understand these meanings, the place is enough. For outsiders – we need explanation, information and interpretation.
