Habitat JAM -- global public participation process
There’s a very cool global, participatory exercise happening yesterday, today, and tomorrow called Habitat JAM. It’s being sponsored by the UN, the government of Canada, and IBM. It’s also being moderated by an astounding group of experts from all over the world.
I strongly encourage you to log in and participate. Here’s the in depth info:
“As part of the preparations for the third session of the World Urban Forum scheduled for June 19-23, 2006 in Vancouver, the Government of Canada, in partnership with UN-Habitat, is sponsoring this 72-hour Internet event. From December 1-3 people from around the world will gather via Habitat JAM to identify actionable ideas for the Vancouver World Urban Forum agenda.
Habitat JAM is about engaging anyone with a stake in the health and welfare of our cities — that means you. It’s about sharing your ideas on important issues that ultimately affect you. It’s also about connecting people who otherwise could never meet who have the experience and know-how from across the world — and applying their learning to current needs and issues. Ultimately, it’s about working together to find solutions to critical urban problems.”
