I was in Florence last week to deliver a training on internationalisation policies for cities - and we ended up talking politics and European culture.

Some thoughts from Florence - on tourism, cities, and why local politics still matter.

Plus, Amsterdam being Amsterdam ✨

Urban policy and science are still too far away from each other. The City Science Initiative was born 5 years ago to bridge these two worlds.

We met in Amsterdam to step up our capacity-building efforts for evidence-based decision-making in cities. Happy to be involved as @eurocities.bsky.social 🙌
