Worldwide JAM Provides Input To WUF3
An important part of preparations for WUF3 was the Habitat JAM, a 72-hour
online global dialogue that took place last December 1-3, 2005, and brought
together tens of thousands of people to talk about issues of urban
sustainability. When the 6,000 participants of WUF3 gather in Vancouver next
June, their discussions will be enriched by the 39,000 people from 194
countries who participated in the JAM. Hundreds of actionable ideas were shared
and results will be posted online and reported during the World Urban Forum in
Vancouver, June 19-23.
