Cities on the Front Line: Urban Approaches to National Issues, Big Ten Mayors Forum

The Mayors Forum is a project of the Big Ten Collaboration: Democracy in the 21st Century.

The tumult of the first years of this decade - a global pandemic, an unprecedented presidential election, movements for social and racial justice, impacts of climate change, pressures on urban infrastructure - has played out in our nation's cities and thrust the challenges and opportunities for mayors and their leadership into the spotlight. This special virtual event brings together mayors from cities across the states of the Big Ten in a discussion about how leadership at the city level shapes our national approaches to some of the most pressing issues of the day:

• Mike Duggan, Mayor of Detroit, MI
• Lori Lightfoot, Mayor of Chicago, IL
• Aftab Pureval, Mayor of Cincinnati, OH
• Bruce Teague, Mayor of Iowa City, IA

This event is free, and participants must register beforehand.
