      Tomasz Sudra
      Specialist în planificare și dezvoltare urbană, fondatorul ramurii de formare și consolidare a capacității HABITAT ONU, Phd. MIT. Membru al Consiliului de Administrație FPDL.
      În calitate de Director UN - Habitat Training and Capacity Building Branch, până la pensionarea mea în 2003, responsabil pentru programele de formare ale agenției noastre din întreaga lume, eu pot spune cu încredere deplină că nu am întâlnit în nicio regiune mai mult profesionalism, inovație, dinamică și organizare efectivă de formare eficientă în domeniul guvernanței locale și a dezvoltării locale. Mi-ar fi plăcut mai multe organizații să facă cu succes ceea ce a făcut FPDL.
