http://citiwire.net/post/1207/ Our mission... to reflect a new narrative for 21st century cities and regions. Leaving behind the 20th century pattern of cheap energy, endless automobility, burgeoning suburbs, threatened inner cities. To a challenge-packed 21st century: energy prices headed north, perilous carbon emissions, deepening have-have not divisions, excruciating social problems and deep challenges in education. But a time of exciting promise, too.

Now, how do you get poor people in that neighborhood to own that super market and deal directly with the farmers and suppliers? My wife and I toured a banana plantation in Honduras several years ago. They grew, harvested, prepared and packaged the bananas. We were told that of the 60cents per pound that they would bring in a US supermarket only 6 cents remained in Honduras. All the middle men got the other 90%. That is why Globalization is causing a greater disparity between the poor and the wealthy. The wealthy get wealther because they own all the distribution and retail facalities. Dr. Robert Justice 2219 Harvest Creek Ct Kingwood, TX 77345 Great start.

No area, no section can improve without all parts of our cities and rural area doing better too - all of us must be a part of the change we desire.
