Five Core ThemesThe submissions from 155 cities demonstrateda predictably wide spectrum of responses to thecall for innovation in urban governance aimed atsolving local challenges and improving quality oflife. In order to better understand the key issuesaddressed by each city and to support the processof evaluation, LSE Cities identified five core themesthat captured the concerns of European citizensand local governments in this self-selected groupof cities. These themes are: the economy; civicengagement; social inclusion; health and wellbeing;and the environment. The themes provideimportant insights into the perspectives of theleaders who participated in the European“Practically every solution wasconcerned with connectingpeople to each other.”Mayors Challenge, but it is important to rememberthat they do not represent the full range of urbanthemes prioritised across Europe’s towns and cities.Across the broad range of submissions, whatstands out is that practically every solution wasconcerned with connecting people to each other –either through the institutions of local governmentor by the (better) use of urban spaces. The issue ofconnection becomes particularly acute when theindividuals who are at the heart of the significantprocesses of urban change and growth feel leftbehind or isolated. This applies equally to young orolder citizens who lack jobs or a sense of purpose,and to new migrant communities who have notyet settled in their host environments. The questfor improved communication, the simplification ofobtuse bureaucratic language, and greater opennessand transparency of municipal institutions cutacross many of the initiatives, with the potential ofnew technology, apps and gamification techniquesplaying a key role in forming new alliances andconnections across many layers of Europeanurban society.EconomyDoing more with less25%Civic EngagementFacilitating citizen action16%Social InclusionBuilding trust and value33%Health and Well-beingAiding healthy living12%EnvironmentSecuring the future14%12%11%2%10%6%16%10%7%6%4%2%6%5%3%Youth developmentUrban redevelopmentProductivityParticipating in governanceCommunity involvementEqualisingStabilisingSharingExercise & well-beingObesity & foodDistributed healthcareEnergy efficiency & green buildingsClean energy & transportResilience & safety20
