Strong nations are built on strong regions. Liverpool City Region proves that progress comes when power’s shared, not hoarded. That's why it's great to see @BloombergDotOrg backing city leadership through the Bloomberg LSE Initiative. Give mayors the tools, and we’ll deliver.

We launched GovEx over a decade ago to fill a critical gap: no one was helping municipalities build the internal capacity to use data to improve residents’ lives. Today, GovEx begins an exciting new chapter under new leadership. Take a look!

Local governments can—and must—be more than they are. That means putting residents at the center, harnessing ideas from every corner of a city, and turning energy into solutions. Great talking with Chuck Marohn at @StrongTowns about how @BloombergDotOrg is building innovation
