Dear Colleagues,
please let me introduce you the new issue of the Czech Healthy Cities Newsletter
which brings you short news and highligts, this time covering mainly
the period of April - June 2012. You will find here interesting info from Czech Healthy
Cities and their association.
(NOTE: Some of the website links are available only in Czech, in that case
you can use the Google Translate toolbar, which can be found on the left side
of the HCCZ web page.)
I believe that this new HCCZ Newsletter will be for you an interesting and useful
source of information and inspiration from Czech Healthy Cities, Municipalities and Regions.

How to find out if a city is sustainable? The methodology has been created
In March 2012, after two-year work of experts from universities and other specialist workplaces in the Czech Republic as well as that of practitioners from the cities, the "Methodology for evaluation of Local Agenda category A" has been approved. In the CZ, LA21 has a chart of quality of the participating municipalities and regions - from the "applicants" to categories "D", "C", "B" ending with the highest category "A". It is for this very last category that precise guidelines and procedures of how to measure it were missing. For this reason, the Healthy Cities of the Czech Republic in collaboration with a number of university experts and other representatives of specialised workplaces tested the proposed Methodology in practice.
