Public Design Organisations
A friend of a friend works for a local planning department specialising in road layout. It got me thinking that maybe we should be looking to involve public design organisations interested in making their processes more transparent and accountable. There would be less of a confidentiality barrier then, although I'm not sure how clients originate and are dealt with. There was an interesting TV series a few years ago called 'Public Property' which involved well known architects and designers on small public projects.

This is a co-incidence because I was also thinking about this too - via a local issue. Here in Highgate we have a 'Highgate Society' which - among other things - takes a formal interest in developments locally - roads, buildings, etc. and is consulted formally , or not , as the case may be, sometimes repeatedly and from the earliest stages by organisations or groups who are anxious to consult for various reasons - some of which aren't just political.
