Sister City - Littleton, Colorado

Littleton, Colorado - Sister City

Since 1954 Bega has enjoyed a relationship with our sister city Littleton, Colorado, USA.

Now we are able to continue that relationship through the world wide web and through personal delegations between the sister cities.

The following table is a list of links identifying the some of web presence of Littleton.

Littleton City	The primary website for Littleton. The site is managed by the local Government and they provide a huge range of services including economic development.
Bega-Littleton Exchange	Here is a history of the Bega Littleton exchange. The efforts of the late Curly Annabel, editor of the Bega District News and Houston Waring, Editor of the Littleton Independent bear a fruit that is immeasurable.
Climate Averages	The City has a population of 40,000. The climate is hospitable with the dry regions of Colorado plus the Rocky mountains making for an active climate system. There are four seasons like in Bega. See for yourself.
Economic Gardening	1. The term used by the city for the process that has seen a dramatic improvement in the fortunes of Littleton. In 1985, 30% of the CBD was vacant representing 1 million square feet. The "Economic Gardening" model is now an export product for other regional centres. These pages are from the City site.
Economic Gardening	2. An independent appraisal of the economic gardening model and community scale economies.
Community Network	LCN - The Littleton Community Network, established in 1995, is a volunteer-supported community information resource with links to organizations and information in the greater Littleton community. Strong on Arts.
WIKIpedia	A wikipedia is unique to the world wide web. It is a user created web encyclopaedia. In it, any person can contribute what they know about a subject and attach hyperlinks to anywhere they wish. A wiki is effectively organised chaos. Type WIKI into Google and see what comes up. Specify a topic and you will be amazed. Contribute to this wiki if you wish!
Littleton Community College	College in the "States" is the intermediate place between High School and University. It might be closer to our TAFE than to High School.
A local Real Estate Service	Housing prices have increased as Littleton's economy has improved.
Job Bank	In Australia we have the luxury of a central, well funded Government Job Network. Our system is recognised as a world leader. In the USA it seems most of these services are privatised. This link for Medical Specialists is another private firm.
Littleton Yellow Pages	One can read the yellow pages and get some idea of the services the City has to offer. It looks like a great place to live! So is Bega.
