Cities have long been sites of migration, amplifying the pluralism and community-based innovation that define city life, as well as the complexity of policy responses required of city leaders to serve all residents. Cities often act as the front line in meeting newly arrived migrants’ and refugees’ needs, and are at the forefront of creating longer-term urban policies which foster diversity and inclusion.

The Global Mayors Summit invites municipal leaders, civil society, and international stakeholders to discuss how cities overcome obstacles to implementing policies that promote migrant and refugee integration, rights protections, and empowerment; such policies are largely considered fundamental to achieving social integration. The program underlines how, in pursuing social cohesion, cities can reshape national narratives on migration and social inclusion, demonstrating the strength and richness that result from an inclusive pluralism. What is more, as in other areas of international policy making, cities are increasingly collaborating across national borders: sharing ideas, forming coalitions, and challenging their national governments to adopt policies that are proving effective at the local level. The program will highlight the role of partnerships, including city networks and public-private partnerships, in advancing the goals established by cities to comprehensively address the global migration challenge.

The Global Mayors Summit will focus on how cities can, and are, implementing policies that promote migrant and refugee integration, rights protections, and civic engagement. In addition to a cities’ exchange, the Global Mayors Summit will also provide an opportunity for cities to express common values and objectives in this field, and to share city efforts with national and international counterparts. The program at the Concordia Annual Summit will be a learning exchange focused on ways to address the policy challenges facing cities, including through public-private partnerships.
