In the face of uncertain and vacillating support from the federal government, local governments are uniquely positioned to find innovative solutions to today’s toughest problems. A growing number of mayors are stepping up and driving creative and dynamic, urban transformation across the United States. Join NYU Wagner, the United States Conference of Mayors, and the David Bohnett Foundation for a lively and timely discussion with a panel of leading mayors. They will discuss how they’re changing their respective cities to meet today’s challenges—bringing forth big, bold, and inventive ideas. The moderated discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
