UNCTAD: enfant terrible hopes for rebirth

Article Abstract:

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is trying to plan a future in an atmosphere in which some question its right to exist as well as the organization's philosophy that global economic development benefits all nations. Since 1980, the distance between the developed and underdeveloped areas has widened and UNCTAD remains the representative of the philosophy of helping those less fortunate. UNCTAD must also deal with the new phenomena such as the insecurity engendered for the underdeveloped world by the greater instability coming from liberalized markets.

Urban futures

Article Abstract:

Urbanization is likely to be one of the key issues of the new millennium, and economic, environmental and governmental aspects are discussed. Cities must have a sound economic base, and the world's great cities all share large and diverse economies making them resilient and able to reinvent themselves as necessary. The costs in terms of pollution are, however, the minus.
