SFZH Initiative Planning Project Launches new Web site

As part of the San Francisco – Zurich Initiative’s Planning Project, Andrew Nash has created the International City Planners Network to help planners develop and implement creative solutions by facilitating contacts with other planners throughout the world.

This ICPN’s website (www.city-planners-network.org) creates a forum where all types of planners can identify and contact planners in other cities to learn more about planning issues in these cities. The ICPN is based on the belief that we can learn more through personal contacts than by simply reading reports and books. The website is intended to facilitate direct communications between planners and perhaps meetings when planners travel.

The website's "Find a Planner" page is designed to help planners identify planners with similar interests from throughout the world. The "City Pages" present information about planning organizations and planning oriented tours in participating cities. San Francisco and Zurich were the first two cities included and now the list has grown to include Paris and Vienna.

The International City Planners Network is a non-profit project based in San Francisco, California. Initially sponsored by the San Francisco Planning and Research Association (SPUR) and San Francisco Zurich Initiative, the Network seeks volunteers and additional sponsorships. Our next effort will be to translate the site into German and French, as well as adding members and cities to the network.

For more information contact Andy at andrewnash@city-planners-network.org or simply log-in to the site at: http://www.city-planners-network.org.
