CityVoices: Disaster Issue - Call for Submissions
CityVoices magazine is geared towards CITYNET members and partners located across the Asia-pacific region, representing the interest of cities and their people.The magazine integrates and delves deeper into current issues particularly from an urban perspective. We aim to be critical, accessible and to put a face on the hard work being done by the cities and of course the work that is yet to be done. The Asia-pacific region can take the lead in sharing what we have experienced in order to assist with the challenges ahead.
The Summer 2011 issue of CityVoices will focus on the issue of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) – 'Choices Worth Making.'
