The External Advisory Committee on Cities and
Communities delivered it's Final Report on June 15, 2006.

remarkable diversity of perspectives. We were drawn from communities large and
small, from backgrounds in business, politics, community service, the arts and
academia, and from viewpoints that span the political spectrum. Yet early on in

and for a profound shift in thinking across government, business and the
community."
