Creating positive footprints

UN Future of Cities

Pink Shoe Ambassador Jacqueline Winstanley, who leads on Inclusive Entrepreneurship for our UK Economic Blueprint for Women, was honoured to receive an invitation from Professor Diana Davis, Founding President of International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC) to attend a High Level Meeting  'The Future of Cities' at the UN Headquarters in New York. 


The meeting was organised in support of the 2030 Agenda including the Sustainable development Goals.The programme included  the ICCC Awards Ceremony ‘Raising the Roof’.

This was a fabulous opportunity for Jacqueline to listen and contribute to the debate. 

Presentations from the Global Architects of the Future were very impressive and filled with innovation - humanitarianism in the pursuit of intergenerational Cities around the world.

The meeting was followed by a Gala reception and Concert in the delegates’ Dining Room overlooking the Hudson River by moonlight with an equally impressive Musical Programme. It is certainly true that Music touches the Soul and can unite all Nations.

Jacqueline thanks Professor Davis for the kind invitation and her continued hospitality of Afternoon Tea overlooking Central Park the following day.



She is looking forward to working with Professor Davis and her colleagues going forward. Following the UN meeting, Jacqueline joined ICCC at April’s prestigious invitation-only Windsor Consultation at Windsor Castle.
