A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The first paper in this series, published in the last issue of Structural Survey, examined the numerous laws that protect buildings and their occupants. It concluded that few measures apply to empty buildings, leaving many to fall into decay. Where local authorities have powers of protection, they rarely exercise them. Now the need to protect empty buildings is further considered against the direct and indirect costs of leaving buildings unoccupied. Recent initiatives to remedy the problem are then explored.
