Sustainable Urban Development An online community devoted to promoting sustainability in the built environment

Sustainable Urban Development is an online forum devoted to promoting the principles of sustainability in the built environment, especially in urban areas. Whether you work within the field of sustainability or have a personal interest in its policies and principles, this group is for you.

The inspiration for this online community was the extraordinary World Urban Forum 3 -- a UN-Habitat conference in Vancouver which drew more than 10,000 attendees from every corner of the world during June 2006. This group is designed to empower individual and collective interaction among its membership in the pursuit of sustainability in developed environments.

N.B. For those of you who are not already members of Sustainable Urban Development on LinkedIn, here is the URL for the group there: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/30405/1F741776E55E

I am completing the fitting-out process for the new online home for our group, so please pardon the virtual dust.  In the meantime, please feel free to take advantage of the features that are already in place for the group: a shared calendar, discussion forums, member profiles, photo gallery, file storage and more.

Please also complete your member profile and feel free to make suggestions to improve the effectiveness and usefulness of this group.
