比起解決世界的難題，國家級的政治家們總是更喜歡製造僵局。那麼，究竟誰能大刀闊斧地做點好事？當然是城市的市長。政治理論家本傑明·鮑勃說道：「給市長們一點全球政治的實權。」鮑勃展示了這些“城裡的老街坊”是如何靠他們的力量解決自己地盤里步步緊逼的問題的，這也許可以推廣到世界範圍。

爲什麽市長們應該管理這世界

Cities now house more than half the world's people, and their leaders are quietly solving urgent cross-border problems that nation-states struggle to address.
