International Cities, Town Centres & Communities (ICTC) Society

http://www.ictcsociety.org/



According to its site, the aims of the ICTC Society are to "enhance the quality of life of inhabitants of cities, towns and communities; make cities, towns and communities as environmentally, socially and economically sustainable as possible; and to facilitate world best practices in the planning, development and management of cities, towns and communities, public spaces and infrastructure". The design of the site is simple but clear, with basic information about the Society and its committee, together with information about curent and previous events. Membership is free, and visitors can join using the form on the site; however, it would be useful if the site could tell us a little more about the Society's activities, particularly given its laudable but ambitious aims.
