A new generation of universal local public services: Without universal local public services, there is no equality, democracy, or peace.

Recommended reading for this summer

We are sharing the link to the document “A New Generation of Universal Local Public Services,” a product of the recent UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments) World Congress held in Tangier, an association of which the IAEC is a member.

The document reflects on the role of local governments in guaranteeing universal, inclusive, and sustainable public services, offering key insights and proposals of great interest to cities committed to education, equity, and citizen well-being.

This is a recommended read for the summer, an opportunity to learn about some of the main lines of debate and action shaping the international agenda for cities.
