Mayors from around the world are meeting this week in New York City at the United Nations to discuss sustainable urban planning. The conference title — Sustainable Urbanization in the Information Age, Role of Infrastructure — provides many interesting points of discussion. The focus is on both physical infrastructure and the soft infrastructure of health care and education — and the role that innovative information and communication (ICT) models play for sustainable urban planning.
The planned outcome from this meeting is a published book that will be distributed as a United Nations publication. The Global Alliance for ICT and Development is hosting discussions from the event on their Blogs.
