*by A***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2014*

This is an excellent account of the shifts in public and professional views and official policies relating to urban conservation, particularly those in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. John Delafons was himself a highly respected senior civil servant who witnessed some of the key processes. Drawing on notable contemporary sources and diaries, especially those of Richard Crossman, Delafons tracks the endeavours of politicians, senior civil servants, professional groups and concerned individuals to have the needs of conservation properly understood, acknowledged and legally incorporated into the planning system.  It is particularly good at identifying and crediting some key figures, not perhaps so well known but whose work was enormously influential, most notably the talented architect/planner/artist Roy Worskett.  Worskett's work while in the then Ministry of Housing and Local Government (subsequently part of the newly formed Department of the Environment) was ultimately presented in his seminal book 'The Character of Towns'.
