Mike Bloomberg shares advice and learnings from his personal experience serving as mayor of New York City at the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance convening.
Bloomberg Philanthropies announced that 20 mayors from North and South America have joined the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance. As part of the Alliance, the mayors receive executive education and coaching on how to leverage data to strengthen city government operations, innovate public services, and produce better outcomes for residents including improving access to health care, reimagining waste management systems, expanding affordable housing, or combatting homelessness. To kick off their participation, the 20 mayors—representing 11 U.S. and 9 Latin American cities—met with Michael R. Bloomberg and renowned data leaders in academia, innovation, urban governance, social impact, and racial equity at Johns Hopkins University over the course of a three-day immersion. These remarks took place at the immersion on May 17, 2023.
