Louise Mailloux and David Nobbs (not their two wandering mutant black Labs Liam & Nina) are off to the World Urban Forum (WUF) along with thousands of big City planning folks from around the globe.
Louise will be helping evaluate the third UN Habitat conference (first one was in Vancouver in 1976 and put that city on the urban planning map) for Goss Gilroy, while David will attend session and blog it for CIEL, the developers of the Community Vitality Initiative.
Here is the official UN Habitat WUF site but the Conference will be blogged up-to-the minute by its Commissioner General Charles Kelly.
A more humble (and dogless) CIEL-RtW blog will be posted tomorrow … and daily starting next Monday when the Conference starts.

The ASAP IP videoconference worked quite well, and can improve with better cameras and a proper mic and speaker set up; used the Polycom speakerphone for the audio since it was the first time for most folks in this environment.
