A New Orleans nonprofit takes chefs out to see firsthand how a disappearing shoreline impacts seafood production. @RoryDoylePhoto, a 2022 Neal Peirce Foundation grantee, got the story along with writer @BoyceUpholt for @BitterSouth. bit.ly/3FuWHed

@GKajszo @MyGlendale @Ford @CityLab Love it, @GKajszo! Glad residents responded to this fun way of offering ideas. And really happy for you that the marker washed off!

Testing a new guerrilla engagement tactic @MyGlendale! We used automotive markers to ask residents for feedback on a @Ford #ETransit electric van. Our question: how can the city balance #nature and the #community? What do you think? @CityLab @cswope tiktok.com/t/ZTR9rKfDH/

Excited to have the @ANCInnovation #iteams' work highlighted in @BloombergCities Spark. Learn more about a project to get the latest info to small businesses via the Anchorage Small Biz Alerts using SMS texts. Providing timely info, self-help, and one-on-one help. @cswope

Bloomberg Cities@BloombergCities

When #Anchorage @MayorEthananc needed to get critical recovery information to businesses, he tapped the city's #iteam. Learn how @ANCInnovation used its expertise to develop a text messaging tool that is helping engage more than 700 small businesses: buff.ly/3fVoHZf

President Trump might not mask it up, but mayors sure are - as @nanwhaley @MayorHancock @SylvesterTurner @Mayor_Spicer and @wadetroxell show. #LeadershipMatters. buff.ly/2UQN5nR #MasksNow #COVID19

First ride on our new transit service powered by the @ridewithvia. The service costs just $2 and focuses on reducing travel times and costs for people in neighborhoods that have limited transit options. Big week for #JerseyCity!

.@GuadalajaraGob is showing cities around the world how to squeeze petty #corruption out of permitting & licensing. Click through to the report - it's a great read on how low-level bribes happen and how to stop it. bit.ly/2O7oEif

Important research related to a group of public servants whose work we don't do enough to recognize: the people who answer the call when you dial 911.

Bloomberg Cities@BloombergCities

Handling 911 calls is a stressful job with high turnover rates. A new study from @B_I_Tweets finds building a sense of belonging among dispatchers can help. @ElizabethLinos of @UCBerkeley’s @GoldmanSchool explains why here: bit.ly/35TVNnE

Thanks to @chrismichaelgdn and the rest of the @guardiancities team for showing us what the best in urban journalism looks like.

Well, that's it comrades. After six years @guardiancities is closing up shop. It's been an incredible honour and privilege: the best job in journalism, for a few reasons I wanted to mention briefly (1/11) theguardian.com/cities/2020/ja…

Mayors are on the front lines on advancing economic opportunities for their residents, and in our talk at last week’s #RFASummit, @GTBynum, @mayorcantrell, and @CityRochesterNY’s Mayor Warren nailed it on why this work is so important. Check it out: bit.ly/2MmrNZK

#LocalGov innovation sometimes involves emerging tech. But more often it involves creative no-tech, low-tech and even old-tech interventions to address challenges in new ways. That’s why I love seeing ideas like this one from #Anchorage. Check it out: bit.ly/2kbZIKF
