About us
The Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative—a program of the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University—is a collaboration between Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Business School, and Bloomberg Philanthropies. Its mission is to equip mayors and senior city officials to tackle complex challenges in their cities and improve the quality of life of their residents. The Initiative is committed to advancing research and developing new curriculum and teaching tools to help city leaders solve real-world problems. This approach is designed to help unlock the full potential and optimize the performance of cities. If mayors and their organizations thrive, cities can adapt, endure, and thrive as well.

Learn how Bloomberg Philanthropies and Mike Bloomberg make an enormous impact through their philanthropic giving. ⬇️ We're so grateful for their work, including here at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, where faculty research and the student community continually benefit, and in #cities, helping local governments better serve residents.
From America’s struggle to improve its life expectancy to schools failing to prepare students for college and careers, many problems that existed before the pandemic only grew worse over the last few years. Our 2023-24 Annual Report details how we’re working to tackle some of the biggest challenges we face – and create new models that can be scaled and replicated. https://lnkd.in/eQ7NjRqT
