Název v původním jazyce

If Mayors Ruled the World: Dysfunctional Nations, Rising Cities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This book turns our attention to the role of the local level in a world which is more and more interconnected and globalised. As such, it is divided into two big parts: first giving arguments for the global governance of cities and second proposing concrete tools by which this could be done. The number of subjects covered is spectacular and varies from history and urban planning to inequality, social justice, new technologies, art and civil society. After each chapter describing one of the parts of the everyday life of cities nowadays, a mayor of one city and its life story are presented. One of the biggest impulses for writing the book and for starting the thinking about the powers the cities could have was likely to have been the enormous success of the former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg (in position from 2001 to 2013).
