Terezie Lokšová investigates how formal techniques for involving the public in the planning and designing of various buildings and public spaces spread throughout Czech cities. Current practices are often based on approaches that various organisations imported to us from abroad and which put more emphasis on the democratisation of society than the architectural aspect. This note explains why the origin of these approaches and their transfer to the Czech environment might be of interest to us and why it is worthwhile to conduct additional research.
