How many council workers...
As a Landscape Architect employed by the Council, you have to get the design proposals through different stages: department manager, unit manager, other departments (transportation, planning, etc), councillors, executives and so on... before the public gets involved, which is a completely different matter. I was wondering how many of these non-professional bodies try to influence the design from a personal point of view arguing with their position in the decision making process, even if the project is perfectly eligible from every point of view. It is only happening because they have personal ideas and opinions that have nothing to do with the principles and knowledge about landscape architecture but they are excited about these kind of projects and want to impose changes because of their position... On the other hand if something goes wrong, they would not accept any responsibilities after the landscape architect was ''forced'' to adopt their ideas...
