Hope this report with Jorrit Jong and @Arfung will be of use to a variety of leaders on the ground looking to advance more inclusive and equitable engagement @HarvardAsh @Kennedy_School @NewAmerica @BloombergCities @BHcityleaders
How can cities improve their civic engagement approach? A new guide published this month from @BHcityleaders provides answers.
We spoke to 3 of the report’s authors about the state of civic engagement & how city leaders can take it to the next level: bloombergcities.jhu.edu/news…

It isn't just about delivering good services. The job of mayors today:
✅Navigate #AI for local gov
✅Dream big & compete for federal infra $$
✅Manage the #migrant crisis
✅Accelerate local carbon transition
#CityLab2023 will have it all: bit.ly/3EbPWh3

Too often, local governments take a transactional view of resident engagement. But an effort in @cityoftulsagov offers local leaders everywhere a different model they can build upon.

In a new article from @hrgilman, she discusses why a citizen's assembly may be a good solution to repairing our democracy: "Citizens’ assemblies across all levels of government — local, state, and federal — may be just the kind of change people seek." ⤵️

This is the second time I've come across a significant community-wide initiative focused purely on strengthening civic ties and connections between residents.
We need more of this to keep us moving forward together. bloombergcities.jhu.edu/news…

970,000 job openings in state and local governments – initiatives like Staff the Front Lines are key to solving this issue. Nice work, @MayorToddGloria.
Let’s make city halls the go-to employers for those who care about their communities.
