I'm also interested in megacities and how an eco-sustainable development could support the urban, human wellbeing. Last but not least, I'm thinking to get a PhD focused on Sustainable Development with a core in Environmental Policies. I'm looking for a good school. Any suggestions?
Of course I'll be your friend! Hope Mike is treating you well at IIED.
Regards,
MK
Thanks so much for the tip on ecodesign network O2. I have not heard of them. I will check them out and am happy to have you as a friend :) What exactly do you do now?
Best,
Francesca
Will look forward to that. I lived in DC in the late 1970s/early 1980s and have fond memories of hanging out round Dupont Circle...
Am also looking forward to reading the Post-Normal Times!
Take care,
Barbara
Thanks for your note - likewise, if you ever make it to the Washington DC area, let me know. I have been to IIED twice - hope to make it back sometime soon.
I'm in London and I will stay here untill last week of September. Thanks for invitation. Hope to see you.
Best Regards,
Saadi

Yep, I was Virtual Subeditor for years there! I'm sure TV will get her photo on soon.
I remember seeing your name around at SciDev.Net but I think this is the first time I've seen the face (much nicer to be able to think of people as people ...revolutionary, really!) now I have to work out why Padma isn't using her photo on the network!
