The aim of the conference was to provide an opportunity for consideration of how patterns of work and population in small towns and the countryside were likely to change over the next two or three decades and what the consequences might be for the environment. The conference was related to the two previous conferences: 'Work: Changing Patterns and Place' (24 June 1981) and 'Homes and the Countryside'' (26 November 1981).

The aim of the conference was to provide an opportunity for the discussion of what action could and should be taken to abate the problem of acidification of the atmosphere. The emphasis was to be on what solutions were available which should be adopted and how they were to be put into effect.
