Web Resource for Sustainability in Urban Areas

I am passing this review from the Internet Scout Project along for your information. Urban Environment: Challenges to Sustainability http://topics.developmentgateway.org/special/urbanenvironment Ever since the Development Gateway resource was created a few years ago, they and their partner organizations have never shied away from taking on some of the thorniest issues facing human populations around the globe. Recently, they assembled their own set of top-notch experts to talk about the future of urban environments from a variety of informed perspectives. The subjects they were primarily concerned with included air pollution, the lack of clean water, and other issues that concern large urban areas, particularly in the developing world. Divided into four primary sections, the homepage brings together perspectives from Gateway members that answer questions such as "What are the biggest challenges to cities?" Other sections are also offered that provide effective networking suggestions for professionals and civic officials who might be intimately involved with such policy solutions. The site is rounded out by the "Communities" area, which allows users to view information on the role of technology and urban development and cities which have adopted certain sustainable technologies.
