In this episode of the City Voice Podcast, I look forward into 2018.

In 2017 we began to see local governments i.e. Mayors stretch their muscles collectively on the global stage.

Expect to see more of that in 2018. This will particularly be true (but not limited to) the issues of climate change, refugee & immigrant issues, as well as economic opportunities.

How much momentum this gets is dependant on how great the need for it becomes and how many Mayors and Governors realize the power of collective strength.
