We want to provide ordsprog

We want to provide a forum for people working within city and county governments to see what's new in the sustainable movement, and give them tools to achieve their goals of building sustainable projects in their own communities. We'll also have case studies and dialogue sessions where private developers can talk to local government officials about their concerns.

The congress also follows the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in 2002, at which the ICLEI and the City of Johannesburg hosted a local government session as a parallel event. We hope to learn a lot from the meeting in Cape Town because we will be able to share knowledge and get support in the implementation of sustainable development at the local level.

These two sessions are the part of PC Forum where the users really take charge. Our general sessions get active audience participation, but in our breakout sessions there is no audience. The breakouts this year are devoted to the edgiest areas -- content and identity -- where users really understand why they want to take charge, and want better tools and services for doing so. Many of our attendees are active developers as well as users of such tools -- but they have been so busy working they haven't had the chance to meet or check out each other's work.

What we do when we designate it as a BAT project is that we create a single point of contact for the developers, any local officials and any economic development officials that might be working on that project. They can pick up the phone and talk to one person.

I think the Y2K success story to date is very much a testament to the government working in partnership with local governments, communities, corporations. I don't think there were -- there were very few pockets of people in this country who were not aware and prepared for the Y2K.
