2008 Trip Around the World

|
Background
In September of 2008, Gwen traveled to
China, South Africa, and France. In China,
she worked with the Ottawa School of Public
Service to train Central Party school
professors to use skills and techniques for
increased public participation, social
equity, and sustainable development.
In South Africa, she and the mayor of
Montpelier, Vermont, Mary Hooper, attended a
conference organized by the International
Center for Sustainable Cities in Vancouver,
BC. After the conference, she went to
Johannesburg to witness the graduation of 30
students from our Earn-A-Bike training
program in Diepsloot.
In Paris, Gwen met with Bernard Lietaer, the
co-author of a new book to be published in
the spring of 2011 titled Intentional Cities,
Intentional Economies, and visited a district
energy plant being built by a company that is
interested in working with the City of
Montpelier on a similar facility.
