Help the UN write the Culture Paragraph!

ErasmusPC (www.erasmuspc.com) calls for your contribution to help write the Culture Paragraph in the next UNFPA State of World Population. Writing the paragraph is open source, and must involve many disciplines, from each continent.

Mega-Cities in 2030 “Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth” In its 2007 report, the United Nations call on policy makers to start making the right decisions now to use the inevitable growth of cities for the benefit of residents, instead of prevent people from leaving rural livelihoods.While the UNFPA stresses the positive chances of urbanization, ErasmusPC found that it misses out on culture as a driver for creating positive urban conditions. The word 'culture' is mentioned only four times in the 100+ page report, and only one of these four is in relation with urban culture. Go to www.erasmuspc.com for more info!
