Panel members answer audience questions on rehabilitating the urban environment and some of the new initiatives, such as nonprofit cooperative building ownership by low-income people who will rehabilitate a building if given adequate management assistance. Questions were also raised on initiatives to site small generating facilities in urban areas and how this will affect industrial location, on district heating, the effect of rent control on urban deterioration, conversion of rental property to condominiums, and the concept of banking systems for environmental nonattainment areas. The idea that pollution destroys cities is challenged on the grounds that European cities maintain vitality in the midst of pollution, although it is pointed out that urban flight may not be an option in Europe.
