Foreword

In the face of rising inequalities in cities, many mayors from around the world have taken a stand. The OECD launched the Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth initiative in March 2016 as part of the OECD Inclusive Growth initiative, bringing together nearly 50 local leaders from around the world who have made the fight against inequalities a central policy priority. Since its inception, this global coalition, which draws mayors from Paris to New York, from Cape Town to Medellín, from Los Angeles to Seoul, has delivered three major political outcomes, including the New York Proposal, the Paris Action Plan, and the Seoul Implementation Agenda. These documents reflect the shared commitment of mayors to work together to advance more inclusive cities.
