In the developed countries the problems of inner cities are among the most interesting that engineers now have to face. They also offer them one of the greatest challenges. Solutions are rarely purely technical but also have to deal with the social dimensions and the economic challenge of revitalising areas blighted by a change in the conditions that originally made them viable. S.B. Tietz and R.S. Narayanan

I would like to dwell on the recent correspondence on the subject of fee competition, but first would like to support, without reservation, all that Mr Wex expressed-views that any practising consulting engineer would be hard pressed to fault. Mr. Peter Campbell

At the beginning of last year I was seconded for 3 months to The Save the Children Fund (SCF) to work in a refugee camp in western Sudan. Three years previously I had been seconded to the United Nations Relief & Works Agency for (UNRWA) to help rebuild the refugee communities in Lebanon. These had been destroyed by the civil war and subsequent Israeli invasion. R. McAdam
