Major Overhaul of Web Site

The web site of The Commons <http://ecoplan.org/>  at http://ecoplan.org
has undergone a thorough overhaul and update, with the intention of
making it into the fully current main portal of all the projects and
programs that it supports, including of course the Journal of World
Transport Policy and Practice.  We invite you to visit the site and see
what is going on under The Commons Sustainability Agenda.

 

Shed <http://www.carfre.org/>  Your Car Day and the Regional Car Free
Days Practicum in Fremantle Australia:

The UN Practicum is slated to open on Wednesday of this week, with
Fremantle's third Car Free Day demonstration to open on Thursday the
9th.  One more small step toward sustainable transport in cities.  Have
a look.  Follow the results. Give it some thought.  

 

The Stockholm Partnerships for <http://www.partnerships.stockholm.se/>
Sustainable Cities:

The Commons is right behind the city of Stockholm for this world-wide
exceptional sustainable cities program, with more than 220 innovative
projects in from more than fifty countries all over the world. In the
first week of June the city will be welcoming experts and groups from
around the world to view the innovations and accomplishments of these
exceptional projects.  Check it out.

will be convening in Johannesburg, South Africa.  Visit The Commons to

is intended to help shape the discussions and collusions of this
exceptional, path shaping ten year world wide event.

 

Other Programs in Process:

You may also want to check out The Journal of World Transport Policy and
<http://www.wtransport.org/>  Practice, the award winning @World
Carshare Consortium <http://www.worldcarshare.com/cs_index.htm> ,  the
new nGroups.com <http://www.ngroups.com/>  program (New Ways to Work in
an Information Society), the United <http://www.uncfd.org/>  Nations Car
Free Days Programme, and others which may not only have useful
information for you but in which you might also wish to get involved in
some way.  

 

Join The Commons @World Forum
<http://www.ecoplan.org/general/worldforum.htm> :

Each program under The Commons maintains its own supporting
library-communications center.  While all of the others are specifically
designed and oriented to support the particular program in question, the
@Forum of The Commons is the place where informed people and groups from
around the world dialogue and exchange exception information on the
world sustainability agenda.  (Like all the others, this is a carefully
moderated low-volume forum.) All it takes to sign up is to click the
link on the top menu or to send an email to
mailto:the-commons-subscribe at yahoogroups.com.  (And all it takes to get
off the list is to send a single blank email to
the-commons-unsubscribe at yahoogroups.com.)
