The Livcom
Awards 2010
Welcome to Chicago, host of
The International Awards for Liveable Communities 2010
(The LivCom Awards)
As Mayor and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I welcome
the International Awards for Liveable
Communities 2010 (LivCom).
Few issues facing our society today are more urgent than
creating a healthier, more sustainable
society for ourselves and future generations. The City of
Chicago has worked to improve the quality of life
in our neighbourhoods through initiatives that protect our
water, clean our air, restore our land and save our
energy. I am committed to making Chicago “America’s Greenest
City” by investing in citywide infrastructure
and programs that will ease our demands on the environment,
create jobs and promote good health.
A special opportunity to network, gain access to
comprehensive resources and exchange best
practices, this conference showcases progress in
sustainability and spurs other innovative programs and
solutions to emerging issues. I commend the attendees for
their commitment to making our communities
better places to live, work and raise families and send my
best wishes for much continued success in their
endeavours.
While you are here, I hope that you will take time to
discover all that makes Chicago a great place
to live and visit. I know you will like what you find. From
our great architecture and beautiful Lake Michigan
shoreline to our exciting nightlife, Millennium Park and
many world-renowned cultural institutions, our city
offers something for everyone.
Sincerely,
Richard M. Daley
Mayor of Chicago
