Second of three talks by MAX Lock based on a recent R.I.B.A. lecture

Is the Government as concerned with promoting more vigorous and imaginative physical planning as it is with the need for economic planning? From his position as former Borough Councillor and as head of a private planning consultant firm which has worked over a period of twenty years for many Local Authorities. Max Lock analyses some weaknesses in the structure of local government which he finds hinder creative planning and design.
