70 It is noted that most architects work as sole practitioners or in
private practice, with very few working in the public sector. A lack of skilled professionals in the public sector is of concern considering the importance of public policy in the built environment. While the ratios presented here might suggest that the situation may be different for town planners, the fact is that, in many countries, there remains a critical shortage in the public sector, eg see: https://www. citiesalliance.org/sites/default/files/Final%20Report%20on%20 Municipal%20Staffing%20Toolkit_0.pdf
