The Council for Urban Aesthetics in Stockholm (Swedish: Stockholms skönhetsråd), officially The Council for the Protection Ecological and Aesthetic Matters (Rådet till skydd för Stockholms skönhet)[1] is an advisory council of the Stockholm Municipality which inspects city plans and requests for construction permits remitted by various municipal departments. The council is however permitted to initiate cases within its field, which makes it a relatively independent municipal organ.[2]
