Global Crises, Local Impacts: Threats to Social Cohesion and How Cities Can Respond
In late 2023, Strong Cities began receiving requests from member and non-member cities across Europe and North America for guidance and opportunities to share and learn from each other as they navigate the local impacts of global crises. In the absence of an existing relevant playbook or guidelines for mayors and cities, Strong Cities launched a new Global Crises, Local Impacts Initiative.
How mayors, city councils and other sub-national government leaders and bodies manage these local impacts can have significant long-term impacts on the connective tissue that binds disparate communities in our diverse cities. Through consultations with members and non-member cities, Strong Cities developed a policy brief articulating ten considerations for leaders as they navigate these local impacts.
To further facilitate city learning and exchange, Strong Cities launched a monthly webinar series for mayors and other city officials to share how global crises are manifesting in their communities and the steps they are taking to navigate and respond.
