Opened by Maurice Strong, this international panel will discuss successful sustainable community development initiatives from around the world and the key role of citizen participation. Participants will join panellists to examine the importance of local leadership committed to long-term strategies over short-term economic goals; the importance of active participation in local decision-making; how cooperation among business, government and community groups can realize the benefits of sustainable community development; and how people working together can transform harmful patterns of development into ones providing prosperity which is both ecologically and socially sustainable. A live radio broadcast will show how alternative media can promote sustainable community development.
