Topics include: the crucial involvement of professional bodies and their relationship with elected representatives; the resources available in historic areas; mechanisms for design control; the ideological role of heritage and contemporary architecture as symbols of culture and progressiveness; and the public sector's input in decision-making and its commitment to both conservation and to the promotion of new architecture.
