PUBLIC DEBATE, MARCH 18, 2005 AT UNESCO
"URBAN PUBLIC POLICIES AND THE RIGHT TO THE CITY"

On behalf of the Division of Social Sciences, Research and Policy, UNESCO,
I would like to invite you to attend the upcoming public debate on
"Urban Public Policies and the Right to the City." The event will be
held on Friday, March 18, 2005, from 2 PM to 6:30 PM at the UNESCO
House in Paris, Room IV.

To give you an idea of the various municipalities, NGO
representatives, researchers and professors we hope to involve in the
conference, I have attached a provisional agenda for this debate
(available in English and in French).

Should you be able to attend, I kindly ask you to send an e-mail with
your name and the name and mailing address of your organization,
school or institution to rue.martel@gmail.com as soon as possible
(please do not respond directly to this message). A circular letter of
invitation from the Division of Social Sciences Research and Policy of
the Social and Human Sciences Sector, UNESCO, will then be sent to you
as a form of pre-registration for this debate.

Many thanks for your reply and for forwarding this message to any
potentially interested colleagues and partners.
