Professor Sheila Foster, Professor Rebecca Katz and Doctoral Fellow Chrystie Flournoy Swiney are actively supporting the policy debate at the 2018 Summit of the Global Parliament of Mayors in Bristol, UK. The Global Parliament of Mayors (GPM) has a specific focus on global governance and the need for the influence, expertise and leadership of cities to be felt and heard in the international policy-making process. This three-day summit will provide mayoral participants with a space to develop a collective city voice necessary to drive positive change, particularly in the international sphere. The event will engage participants in decision-making, with panels, debates, and voting sessions on priority issues including migration and inclusion, urban health security and global urban networks.
