International City Planners Network (ICPN)

http://www.city-planners-network.org/



Founded in 2004, the goal of the International City Planners Network (ICPN) is to "help practicing planners develop and implement creative solutions to real-world planning problems by facilitating contacts with planners throughout the world". However, the Network welcomes all types of planners and people interested in planning, including urban designers, architects, landscape architects, social service planners, open space planners, economic development planners, environmental planners, infrastructure and transportation planners. From its home page onwards, the Network's sense of friendliness successfully pervades its website, with the display of a random member's photograph on the front page adding a personal touch. Once inside, visitors can use the 'Find a Planner' function, view a series of sections designed to help travelling planners learn more about specific featured cities (currently Paris, San Francsico, Vienna and Zurich) or browse a list of upcoming conferences. The home page also includes an excellent list of links to planning-related organisations and journals. [GAS, 8 Jul 2006].

http://www.nextstep.state.mn.us/




The NextStep site has been designed to provide Minnesota Sustainable Communities Network (MnSCN) members and others with information, access to resources, opportunities for networking, and inspiration on the topic of sustainable communities. The site is certainly an impressive and useful resource, with an excellent and up-to-date range of sustainability-related resources, calendar events, and job listings. Users can also browse the information by topic, with sections covering Agriculture, Buildings, Business, Communities, Ecosystems, Education, Energy, Individual Choices, Land Use, Statewide/Global, Transportation and Water. In summary, this is a rich and worthwhile site, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 29 Apr 2006].
