WE CAME TO THE HABITAT JAM |
|
As seen in Backbone Magazine, November-December 2006 Great firsts in history start with an idea and belief in the unseen. Sometimes they are witnessed. Sometimes they go unnoticed. Always they cross a threshold, opening the way for more innovation to follow. We are proud to present this commemorative visual, self-learning exhibit, celebrating three days in history, when the people of the world came together in an unprecedented online dialogue for the 1st TIME. Together, they worked to share ideas -- and to put their ideas into action -- in search of solutions to the most critcal issues of our cities and our planet. The work endures; actions are underway in big and small ways; and a new threshold in human communication has been crossed.
We pay special tribute, in this work, to the visionary leadership of the Government of Canada, UN-Habitat and IBM -- specifically, Charles Kelly, Commissioner General, World Urban Forum III, Anna Tibaijuka, Under-Secretary-General, United Nations and Executive Director, UN Habitat and Mike Wing, VP, Strategic Communications, IBM -- for their visionary leadership, for IBM's JAM technology taken to a new level, for their belief in people and possibilities, and for the collaboration of trusted partners and champions across the world that brought this small miracle to life for all of us.
We thank you!
