London fault lines
Article Abstract:
Urban planning is not a top priority in London, England even though it is Europe's largest city. Responsibility for development in the city rests on various government agen cies that appear to lack coordination. The Dept of the Environment is generally in charge of planning matters, although the Dept of Transport is responsible for the transport system while other planning issues concern the Dept of Trade and Industry. The city does have a central planning body, the London Planning Advisory Committee (LPAC), but it cannot enforce any recommendations since it lacks statutory powers. LPAC deputy chief planner Robin Clement complains that planning in the city is done largely by saying 'don't do that' instead of 'do this.'

Pool of knowledge
Article Abstract:
Executives must keep in mind that their secretaries may not be prepared to deal with the complexities and intricacies of business travel planning. An awareness of the secretaries' limitations could alleviate any undesirable experiences of executives resulting from inefficient business travel arrangements. Executives should seek to augment their secretaries', as well as their own, knowledge of business travel. Travel agencies can provide the necessary information and services for planning business trips and thus serve as a vital support to any in-house travel arrangement efforts.
