framework in order to try to understand the underlying causes and
dynamics of the situation in the world. It was a one-day meeting in which

took place first between the speakers and then was opened up to experts
and politicians from Catalonia and the rest of Spain. The meeting took
place behind closed doors.

FOURTH FORUM OF THE SPANISH-ITALIAN DIALOGUE: SPAIN
AND ITALY IN THE EUROPE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Organised by: the CIDOB Foundation and Arel (Agency for Research and
Legislation)
The Forum of the Spanish-Italian Dialogue brings together representatives
of civil society in an annual encounter which has been held on an
alternating basis in each country since 1999. The Forum debates are
structured around three informal discussion groups, with a plural and
multidisciplinary composition of high-level representatives of the
political, business and academic spheres. In each group, composed of
some thirty participants, two speakers (one from Italy and one from
Spain) introduce the topic from their respective points of view to launch
the debate. Sponsored by private businesses, the Forum receives support
from the authorities of both countries, support which is demonstrated by
the presence and participation of the Foreign Ministers and other high-
ranking officials from both countries in the plenary session.

     FIRST EUROPEAN MAYORS CONFERENCE
     Organised by: The LSE’s Cities Programme and CIDOB Foundation’s Aula
     Barcelona
     Sixteen mayors from large European cities met with urban experts from
     London and Barcelona with the aim of comparing projects and
     exchanging experiences. Each mayor presented an emblematic project
     from his/her city relating to real estate development and infrastructures
     with urban design, with a subsequent debate with the other mayors and
     experts. The goal of the conference was to allow mayors, scholars and
     experts to freely discuss the underlying tendencies that make up the
     emerging reality of the “Europe of cities” and to exchange views on and
     experiences with the interrelationships between urban design and urban
     society.
     The European Mayors Conference is a meeting of mayors, set in an
     academic framework with an informal tone, in which topics relating to the
     physical transformation of cities are discussed and are the centre of a
     high-level debate among mayors and experts, without any political,
     electoral or media determinants.
     Participating Mayors: Pawel Adamowicz (Gdansk), Sir Albert Bore
     (Birmingham), Sergio Chiamparino (Turin), Joan Clos (Barcelona),
     Gérard Collom (Lyon), Charles Gordon (Glasgow), John Fitzgerald
     (Dublin), Richard Leese (Manchester), Ali Müfit Gürtuna (Istanbul), Ken

     PREP-COM FOR THE SEMINAR “FROM THE WASHINGTON
     CONSENSUS TO A NEW WORLD GOVERNABILITY”
     Preparatory Committee for the seminar for the Forum of Cultures –
     Barcelona 2004.
     The objective of the seminar is to try to review the Washington
     Consensus. In this preparatory meeting, we discussed reviewing, not
     redefining, this agreement since we believe that while certain elements
     of the original consensus are necessary for the correct functioning of
     economies, there exists the need to broaden both its objectives and its
     implementation. It is in this sense that it seems more appopriate to us
     to arrive at defining a “code of good conduct” in economic policy that
     will serve as a framework for a new, better world governability.
     The project, which is directed by Narcís Serra, has a motor group of
     Spanish economists (Guillermo de la Dehesa, Miguel Sebastián, Jordi
     Galí, Jaume Ventura, Ramón Caminal, Antón Costas, Joan Tugores and
     Xavier Vives) whose function is to advise and supervise the development
     of the project until its end. Also, Prof. Joseph Stiglitz and his team from
     Columbia University, along with the Initiative Policy Dialogue, is co-
     directing the project.
