Cities Programme presenting in all corners of the globe

21 December 2009

During the final quarter of 2009, the Cities Programme has enjoyed great exposure from the International Secretariat, government officials, Advisory Council members and member city representatives to international audiences across the globe. Whilst each presentation is of equal importance, some notable presentations were from Mr Victor Perton, Commissioner to the Americas (State Government of Victoria) at the Democratic Governance in Cities Symposium in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Mr David Wilmoth, Learning Cities and Advisory Council member at the Metropolis Commission 2 ‘Urban Growth Management’ Technical Meeting in New Delhi, India.

There is a countless number of iindividuals who are part of a Local Secretariat and continue to promote the 10 Principles of the Global Compact and the Cities Programme within their spheres of influence.

The International Secreatariat extends their appreciation to these people who so generously give their time to educate others about the benefits of engaging in the Cities Programme. We look forward to our continued work in 2010.
