This is the last edition of the year, filled with news and suggestions for starting 2012 with projects and conferences that demonstrate the progress being made towards a society which is increasingly for all.

As always, we invite you to contribute ideas, thoughts and opinions to improve and enrich our Newsletter, and to upload articles in the virtual library of our "Towns and Cities for All Network". On behalf of the whole Foundation team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
