内容简介：
In 1986 the Royal Fine Art Commission's 'Design in the High Street' set out a clear message for improved design and advocated its realisation through a system of closer management. Ten years later the wisdom of this message has been acknowledged. Town centre managers are now established in many towns and the practice is being embodied in government policies. This latest volume will help produce quality in town centres by sharing practical experience from across the country. The ideas and tangible results are explained from the viewpoint of elected members of local authorities. It is they who have the enthusiasm and opportunity to make the very best of their own town centre.
