Re-Imagine Chicago: What If The Mayor Had A Different Set Of Powers?
from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons
Chicago has a “strong mayor” system, and during the pandemic, Mayor Lightfoot gained additional emergency powers. Things work differently in Phoenix, Ariz., which operates under a “weak mayor” or “council-manager” system. Reset examines the benefits and drawbacks of how things work in Phoenix, and what lessons Chicago can learn with David Swindell, associate professor and director for the Center for Urban Innovation at Arizona State University and Rick Naimark, former deputy city manager at Phoenix City Council.
