Mayors are elected to do big things that save and improve lives. @BloombergDotOrg’s largest-ever Mayors Challenge, announced during #CityLabCDMX, is calling for cities to re-think the way they deliver essential services to better meet residents’ needs. https://t.co/tCnZ6EQQOD

[James Anderson @JamesAnderson]

From Boise to Bratislava, city halls everywhere want to cut through today’s fractured information landscape to reach residents, form durable coalitions for change, and build trust in gov—from the bottom up.

#CityLabCDMX kicks off today with the Mayors Innovation Studio where 100+ mayors will convene with cross-sectoral experts and peers on how to innovate public engagement to do just that: https://t.co/B7bGczyvww
