s ta t e
of
our

cities has
changed
dr ama ticall y .
I
t
has
bec ome
abundantly
clear
tha t
this
y ear
is
unlike
an y
other .
It
has
also b e c o m e
c l e a r
t ha t
t h e
r ole
of
city
leaders
is
not
only
t o
establish
and
implement
a
vision
f or
their
c ommunity ,
but
also
t o
be
guided
b y
the
v alues
of
their
c ommunity and
lead
in
the
mos t
challenging
moments.
F or
se v en
y ears,
the
Na tional
L eague
of
Cities
has
released
the
S ta t e
o f
the
Cities report.
This
r esear ch,
which
e x amines
ma y or al
s ta t e
of
the
city
speeches
deliv er ed January
thr ough
April,
has
typically
pr o vided
a
clear
and
c onsis t ent
v oic e
about the
curr ent
priorities
of
local
leaders.
In
the
months
sinc e
those
speeches,
ma y ors’ priorities
ha v e
ob viously
shift ed.
As
w e
e xperienc e
the
ne w
reality
of
our
c ommunities
t oda y ,
the
purpose
of
our S ta t e
o f
the
Cities
r eport
t oo
has
shift ed.
It
is
important
to
a c k n o w l e dg e
t ha t
t h i s y ear ’ s
r eport
pr o vides
a
pr e-crisis
baseline
of
the
v alues
and
priorities
guiding l o c a l
p o li c i e s ,
p r o ce d u r e s
an d
progr ams,
the
fiscal
and
economic
position
of
cities, the
aspir a tions
of
local
leaders
and
the
gaps
left
t o
fill.
In
r eflecting
on
these
moments
in
this
y ear ’ s
s ta t e
of
the
city
speeches,
w e
find
tha t local
leaders
ha v e
been
putting
int o
plac e
those
essential
in v es tments
tha t
will
help our
na tion
heal.
W e
find
inno v a tiv e
appr oaches
t o
health
and
social
servic es,
small business
supports
and
c ommunity
policing.
W e
also
find
ma y ors’
ackno wledging the
challenges
tha t
ha v e
no w
been
laid
bar e ,
including
lack
of
equity
in
health, educa tion,
public
saf ety ,
housing,
economic
opportunity
and
tr ansporta tion.
It
is
our
hope
tha t
in
the
y ears
t o
c ome
w e
will
look
back
on
the
S ta t e
o f
the

r eport
and
sa y
tha t
it
r epr esents
the
s ta t e
of
cities
jus t
as
our
crises
hit,
jus t as
our
na tion
seiz ed
the
moment
t o
begin
bold
r ebuilding
and
s y s t ems
change .
Our
c ommunities
are

the

and
the r esear ch
tha t

is
dedica t ed
t o impr o ving
local
leaders’
ability
t o

their

One
thing
w e
kno w
f or
sure
is
local
leaders
can
and
will
lead
our

the
outlook

the

of

is
