Ma intreb daca din Romania a participat cineva (vreun "ministru responsabil"...) Desi, daca stam si ne gandim, obiectivele recomandate de ministrii UE par a fi complet straine Bucurestiului si Romaniei, stat membru UE... Am incarcat in sectiunea "Files" a grupului versiunea finala a documentului semnat de ministrii UE: http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/8LtYRsqEh4zmx_w_nnXNM0ttvTlio3G1yyb2_emZvroZ8zL 7xs7Md1FBv36lZnCiUr344G8cRg1hJfKsklj-qna8tvgvtTbA/Leipzig%20Charter%20on%20S ustainable%20European%20Cities.pdf Sunt doar sapte pagini care merita citite. Poate ca ministrii UE ar trebui sa-i explice si lui Videanu et al. ca "our cities possess unique cultural and architectural qualities"... ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."

This charter makes two main recommendations: 1. Make greater use of integrated urban development policy * Creating and ensuring high-quality public spaces * Modernizing infrastructure networks and improving energy efficiency * Proactive innovation and educational policies 2. Pay special attention to deprived neighbourhoods * Pursuing strategies for upgrading the physical environment * Strengthening the local economy and local labour market policy * Proactive education and training policies for children and young people * Promotion of socially acceptable urban transport Wolfgang Tiefensee, the German Federal Minister of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs, said that the Leipzig Charter would create the foundations for a new urban policy in Europe and reformulate the idea of the European city. RICS had sent its position to the German government in which it welcomes the Leipzig Charter as recognition by Member States of the importance of sustainable development or urban areas, whilst at the same time regretting that the Charter does not seem to include a follow-up programme or action points.
