Thousands of us have developed a survey of 20 factors a city needs for its netizens to be confident of being a best for the world knowledge collaboration city- email wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you want to assess your city. So far even top ranking cities only get half marks- one reason why all our city cultures need each other if collaboration turns out to be what networking permits humanity to JUST DO with IT -let peoples bridge digital divides and bring down degrees of separation around contexts that are life critical and investments that are sustainable

London :queen elizabeth end of 2000-2005 report : Is Humanity turning on itself?; the badwill scenario of 2005 from this 1984 timeline of The 2024 Report authored by then Deputy Editor of Economist (and my dad)http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687 who would also insist for 30 years now that the main job of entrepreneurial revolution is to find the next peopleseconomics befoire we drown in economics that is only the maths of big power, something that Peter Drucker but also the original founder of The Economist in early 19th C also believed in. http://therebeleconomist.blogspot.com http://entrepreneurialrevolution.blogspot.com

Robert de Souza- I understand you hope peoplesworld may be the greatest network*network cross-cultiral space to debate in one day, but currently we need to look for a community that already has hi-trust culture and people gravitating around it. I dont know where's the world number 1 open space on the net for the most urgent open sorce planting of new industry sectors of which photosynthesis energy and open world service broadcasting are two that need uplifting this year if the 2010 deadline of 6 billion beings is not to be over shot.
I will be surprised but joyous of any of you can tell me of a better space than this one for quarter 1 of 2006 http://www.omidyar.net/group/localglobal/news/DONT MISS HAVING A LOOK AT WHAT MICROFINANCED VIRTUAL COMMUNITY CAN PLAY AT WHEN CHEERLED by founders of ebay

PHILIDELPHIA & London & Gandhi-networks & Cambridge
-----------------------------------------Previously Steve Brant in Phili of the Ackoff, Deming and Buckminster Fuller Schools of system theory understanding of mankind's fina examination wrote. (If anyone was at the first BetheChange, it coincided with the mother of all systems debate which Steve attended in the USA run by Ackoff with people like Meg Wheatley also joining in. I did encourage the leaders of both conferences to share their forward projects though I think most of the links went missing and I did not know that Colin Morley who was my linkup both www.BetheChange.org.uk and joint claborator in the future of the sustainability investment industry was going to have so little time left. This paper which Steve recommended to me on Ackoff's view echoes Einstein's (and so gandhi's) of how ever harder it will be for mankind to transform out of the global system that's chaining us http://www.acasa.upenn.edu/RLAConfPaper.pdf together with Ray Anderson's work, its about the only US school of thinking (as opposed to some schools of practice) worth adding to the world libray of gandhi.edu (sustainability mba that India is losely connecting around the 55 year research project of Cambridge postgraduate economist and Prime Minister Singh - how do we ensure we never let national economics compound an underclass anywhere if you want a networked world to survive)

Great comment, Chris! Thanks! I particularly appreciate the connectionsyou made to Bucky and Gandhi's work. The centenary of Gandhi...sounds likean important place to be!

Japan & Australia
my friend in Japan is Modjtaba Sadria (hattori) who is the only person & cross-cultural researcher I know who is fluent in Cinese, Japanese, English, Iranian and French; he is also close to paul Komesaroff at www.globalreconciliationnetwork.org the meta-network (losely linking 4 nobel peace laureates, 200 NGos and experience-practical people) that does more than any other medical or yout connecting one to recocile conflicts and pick up communities after devastating disasters. Modjtaba also has a fascinating dialogue on learning slavery - the means by which national governments now only sponsor economics or other socila research into the power of the big at most academia since many politicians are look to retire into sinecures with big business. Ask my dad: when was the last democracy governemt that sought to faciliate what the people wanted not power over them- answer none in his lifetime with the exception of Germany & Japan after losing World war 2- oh what a lovely system of globalsiation we will exponetially compound unless the people networks unite openly and quicklyhttp://exponentials.blogspot.com
