Incredibly hectic 72 hours. It was though a pretty grand challenge to get thousands online to discuss in realtime urban issues. Given the challenge it was quite amazing to see thousands from around the world sharing their views and perspecitves on how to make the planet's cities a more livilable and sustainable place. Beyond visions, conrete action that will hopefully impact and be integrated into the WUF in 2006.

TIG supported the overall process by enabling the event to engage Spanish and French speakers (huge thanks to Damian, Sessi and their teams of moderators!). It was amazing to see people in Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Africa, India and more, sharing challenges and brainstorming opportunities and solutions. Possibilities.

I think it was the challenge, and the courage to try something different that overall, despite a rough learning curve and tight corners, made the event a success and a a new process worth exploring and replicating around policy processes in the future, above all as a way to enagage civil society globally.

For those that took part in the discussions and want to read the views expressed in the forums now that the waters have calmed down, the Habitat JAM site is actually still accessible.
To read a part of the Spanish discussions or in French.

And of course you can continue to discuss the issues in this themes boards.
It would also be wonderful to see people adding their projects, events, articles, resources, images etc..., or those that they are aware of, to the Urban Sustainability theme . Our objective, through this input of content, is to create a listing that grows as a map that connects all that is relevant to the World Urban Forum. To generate and share knowledge.
