Abstract:
The involvement of experts as advisers and coordinators of municipalities and the public is
suitable for the appropriate and conceptual development of cities in Europe. In European
countries, such involvement is addressed in several ways. In German-speaking countries, an
expert committee is usual. In Ireland and the Netherlands there are state architects. In
Belgium, which is a federation, they use regional chief architects. In the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, but also in Denmark, some cities use a municipal architect. The presentation deals
with a general overview of municipal architects in the Czech Republic, their formal
establishment and examples of their work. An overview of a similar institute in Denmark is
added for comparison.
