Bloomberg's Global Mayor Network, Elevate Cities Initiative

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expanding his philanthropic efforts to connect international mayors, believing they can learn from each other amidst growing ideological battles. The Bloomberg LSE European City Leadership Initiative, backed by a $50 million investment, brings together thirty mayors and sixty senior officials from seventeen countries. Meanwhile, Joseph Deitchs Elevate Cities initiative aims to celebrate urban communities and bring leaders together to improve them. These efforts underscore the growing recognition of the importance of local governments for democratic legitimacy. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
