This work has two purposes. The first purpose is to investigate how politicians, in the Planning- and Buildingcommitee, affect the aesthetics of buildings in Uppsala city center. The second purpose is to document the thoughts of politicians and officials about how politicians acted during the process.   The overall method of work is a case study based on qualitative interviews. The interviewees are members of the current Planning and Buildingcommitee and officals who are or have been employed by the City Planning Administration. The case is; the impact of the Planning and Building Board on the aesthetics of buildings in Uppsala city center.   The result shows that politicians have had an influence on the facades and volumes of buildings, and a number of examples of buildings that have been affected are provided. Due to the nature of the influence and the method's risk of subjectivity, it has not been possible to identify the impact in detail.
