The ‘Internationals’

The following is a summary of a blog I posted in November of 2010 – and serves now as an introduction to ‘the internationals’ profiled, interviewed on this page of my site. [To view the original blog click here]

It has been a little bit of a hobby horse for me, the fact that the international status of the city has as much to do with the international individuals in it and their contributions to the socio-economic development and character of the city, as it does with the presence of international organisations. I have had the privilege of talking to some of these, and share with you here articles that have resulted from this. In the course of the future I hope to add more and, if you know of an ‘international’ who has made a contribution to the city, let me know, and I will talk to them as well.
