Description

Leading Cities is a global review of the state of city leadership and urban governance today. Drawing on research into 202 cities in 100 countries, the book provides a broad, international evidence base grounded in the experiences of all types of cities. It offers an evidence-based and practical assessment of how cities are led, what challenges their leaders face, and the ways in which cities are increasingly connected to global affairs.

Arguing that effective leadership is not just something created by an individual, Elizabeth Rapoport, Michele Acuto and Leonora Grcheva focus on three elements of city leadership: leaders, the structures and institutions that underpin them, and the tools used to drive change. Each of these elements are examined in turn, as are the major policy issues that leaders confront today on the ground. The book also takes a deep dive into one particular example of tool or instrument of city leadership - the strategic urban plan.

Leading Cities provides a much-needed overview and introduction to the theory and practice of city leadership, and a starting point for future research on, and evaluation of, city leadership and governance practices around the world.

*Praise for *Leading Cities **

'Academics and policymakers alike would do well to consider the authors' call to 'tailor city governance to local needs and local dynamics, rather than simply searching for an ideal "model" of leadership.'
