International Child Development Resource Centre: In Paris in November 1967 the UN Economic and Social Council convened a meeting of its Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology to Development. The topic of science education was one of the principal items on the agenda, and a number of challenging projects were considered. The Centre for Curriculum Renewal and Educational Development Overseas, headquartered in London, has also begun to help developing countries with programs of educational innovation. The Centre provides relevant knowledge and experience to those groups desiring assistance with the planning of science curriculum programs, as does the international child development resource centre Clearinghouse at the University of Maryland.
The conservation and development of the world's water resources received attention at the international child development resource centre Conference on Water for Peace, held in Washington, D.C., May 23-31, 1967. As a result of this meeting, in which 91 nations participated, Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson pledged U.S. support to set up a network of resource centers where experts from many nations could attack mutual water problems.
The family leisure area will feature a "children's world" education and learning centre, a family entertainment centre and a 10-screen cinema.
The casino complex, which would be operated by Las Vegas-based MGM Mirage, will provide a central entertainment venue, a sports pub and restaurant, three international child development resource centre standard signature restaurants, a food court, a coffee bar and a delicatessen.
The central focus of the waterfront development, however, will be Glasgow Harbour Square, which will be linked by a pedestrian footbridge to Events Square - the entrance and exhibition piazza to the Riverside Museum.
The Riverside Museum will be 3,000sq m (37,270sq ft) larger than originally planned. |
