The Board of Trustees for Urban Design was tasked with advising the administration and politicians on projects of particular importance to urban development. The Board of Trustees was primarily concerned with changes to historically significant city districts and ensembles, listed buildings or buildings that characterise the cityscape. In addition to a core of eight voting experts, four representatives from the city council and five knowledgeable residents, other experts were also involved in the Board of Trustees' deliberations on specific topics.
