Re: Towards Carfree Cities IX Conference

Dear all,

For clarity, there will still be an international conference organized 
in Brussels during the mobility week 2009 (16 to 22 September), to which 
all organisations and networks will be invited.
This conference however, will not be THE official WCN conference and 
will not be held under the TCC name.

The organizing committee from the Brussels conference want to stress 
that despite some misunderstanding and consequent disagreement, they are 
keen on keeping an exellent relation with the WCN.

Best,

Jeroen
