Good suggestion regarding categories

We received the following suggestion from Les Farago. What do we think of these category suggestions?

Hi Hamilton,

I also am very excited about this series and it is very encouraging to see the number of people committed to this city.

I think that over the course of this series, there is going to be alot of great ideas and I would hate to see a good one get lost or overlooked. It may help to categorize/label/tag our suggestions and create a searchable environment for our ideas.
It would help if we could come up with a list of a high level set of categories and maybe work on a type of mission or vision statement. A few statements that describe what we want this city to become.

Here are some possible categories to get the ball rolling:
Human Rights - social issues, poverty, housing, child care
Natural Environment - Sustainability, restoration
Built Environment - Infrastructure, transit, walkability
Governance - policy, government, decision making
Economics - Jobs, industry, sustainability
Education - primary, secondary, post-secondary, adult
Health - facilities, family physicians, research
Culture - Music, art, history, food, drinks (all the good stuff!)

All of these categories are heavily dependent on each other but I think if this discussion continues we could possibly move it into a wiki type environment and possibly create a very useable framework that describes all the ideas, suggestions, categories and relationships and how the relate to the goals we set out for ourselves.

Thanks,

This would help focus the discussion, but another would be a catch-all general where the interaction of more than one area of discussion creates an interaction.
