Cities want to collaborate, to be part of the solutions implemented with states. Cities are places of hope. Ada Colau Mayor of Barcelona and Co-President of UCLG
We are currently seeing inwardlooking trends [across the globe]. Peaceful coexistence cannot be developed if what is going on elsewhere, in this interconnected world, is not taken into account. New voices are been sought, and it is up to us to make them heard. Our unified voice has never been this important; cities are more important than ever. Through UCLG, we have the opportunity to unite to address global challenges. Berry Vrbanovic Mayor of Kitchener and Treasurer of UCLG
