"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has"

INTRODUCTION

Government is a slow and tedious process. While it often includes citizen and neighborhood involvement, non-governmental, private organizations have created movements and interesting groups which can create positive change in our cities and towns.

I am fascinated by the way groups are created and how they influence public decision making. This blog merely recognizes them and forwards the description of these groups from their own websites.

Sustainable Cities Collective

Location: Nationwide

Website: www.sustainablecitiescollective.org

Sustainable Cities Collective is an editorially independent, moderated community for leaders of major metropolitan areas, urban planning and sustainability professionals. We look to aggregate content and provide resources for all who work in or are interested in urban planning, sustainable development and urban economics. Looking at issues such as transportation, building practices, community planning & development, education, water, health and infrastructure, we hope to create a community where people can get involved and learn about the advances in how cities are becoming smarter and greener in the 21st century.

There are plenty of ways to get involved: tie your existing blog's RSS feed directly into our site so that your posts are pushed to us automatically; manually submit exclusive content with our easy to use content creation platform; sign up for updates via RSS or email; follow us on Twitter @sustaincities or Like us on Facebook to keep up to date on all of our new content and events.

The Sustainable Cities Collective's mission enjoys the generous support of Siemens AG.
