CityLab is part of the American Cities Initiative, a suite of investments that empower cities to generate innovation and advance bold policies capable of moving the nation into the future.

"As mayor, it’s so easy to feel like you’re on an island, to feel like you’re alone. And then you come to CityLab, you interact with other mayors, and you see and hear what they’re doing and it’s like an adrenaline shot. It gives you the energy to go back home and try something different or new. "

Randall Woodfin, Mayor Birmingham, Alabama
