Norman Foster at the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative

This week, Norman Foster joined Bloomberg, Mike Bloomberg, Patti Harris and Dean Sarah Whiting from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University to welcome the eighth class of mayors to the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative. This yearlong professional management training programme, housed at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard, was established by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School. It is the first of its kind to close the gap in executive development for the public sector.

These thirty-nine mayors from around the world band together to learn how to harness innovation and build their cities’ futures for their residents.

The NFF is grateful for the generous patronage of Bloomberg Philanthropies, which focuses on educating the civic leaders of the future as part of the NFI’s Programme on Sustainable Cities.
