During the
forthcoming Public Policy Forum to take place
in Washington DC in conjunction with the Cities
Alliance Annual Consultative Group meeting,
the environmental aspects of city
development will be thrust in focus. The
Alliance hereby invites comments/feedback on
two studies it financed as background for
the discussion.
The first one is More Urban, Less
Poor, More liveable, written by
International Council for Local
Environmental Initiatives - Local
Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI).
How can a city provide sustainable public transport
in times of tight municipal budgetary? How can a
city build environmental friendly communities for
the urban poor? How can a city produce energy
through waste and reduce green house gas emissions?
How can a city involve its citizens in a city
visioning process? |

Bayamo, Goiania, Hyderabad and Calgary are among the
cities providing answers to these and other pressing
questions in a new report entitled, "More Urban,
Less Poor, More Liveable: How to Integrate
Environment into City Planning" by ICLEI-Local
Governments for Sustainability, UNEP and the Cities
Alliance. It highlights how cities from all
regions of the world improved the lives of city
residents through participatory environmental
planning and management.
The second is a
discussion paper written by the former Mayor of
Honolulu, Mr. Jeremy Harris, titled Toward a
Sustainable Urban Paradigm; Cities – The Problem or
The Solution?
The views from
members, clients, academia, consultants and the
