As Vice President of UCLG-ASPAC, Cr Paul Bell encourages all Australian councils to participate in the Forum.
While the full meeting runs over four days, councils can participate in lively and informative sessions over one and a half days on the planning and management of liveable cities. In line with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, UCLG last year launched the Millennium Towns and Cities Campaign, which focuses on eliminating poverty, promoting development and improving the living standard of their citizens.
Capacity building, training and research is one of the main activities of UCLG-ASPAC and the Liveable Cities Forum will give Australian councils the opportunity to meet with their international counterparts to exchange ideas and discuss their vision and strategies for our cities. The Forum will include fieldtrips in and around Brisbane - the host city.
