Prof. Tim Beatley Contributes to Copenhagen Agenda for Sustainable Cities

Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities, Timothy Beatley, contributed his expertise to the international effort to identify ten principles for sustainable city governance. This effort, known as the Copenhagen Agenda for Sustainable Cities, was organized by Mandag Morgen ("Monday Morning"), the largest Scandanavian independent think-tank. The ten principles were well-recieved at the IFHP-World Congress last week in Copenhagen with the participation of more than 600 city planners, mayors, scientists and public officials from around the world. The next step for the contributors will be to develop best practices guidelines and provide examples for city administrators.
