[Committee] FW: Sustainable cities event on 2nd February

Thu Feb 1 13:43:28 UTC 2007

Hi,

if we have some extra time tomorrow, what do you think about leading a
discussion regarding Cambridge as a future sustainable city? We could
collect some input from our audience as to what they would like their city
to look like, and get a feel what measures people would wish to be realized
in the new local policy that we are about to formulate.
