It appears the urgency for urban issues is catching on. Campaign in the City: Mayors on the Issues, a joint project by The Nation and Drum Major Institute, has interviewed 10 mayors around the country for their ideas to reestablish our urban agenda. Given the recent revelation that people living in cities is now equal to the number of those who are not, as published in The Endless City, I felt the timing was appropriate.
Atlanta, Mayor Shirley Franklin

Miami, Mayor Manny Diaz
Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
Baltimore, Mayor Sheila Dixon
Salt Lake City, Mayor Rocky Anderson
Buffalo, Mayor Byron Brown
Minneapolis, Mayor RT Rybak

Rochester, Mayor Bob Duffy
Hopefully the pressure can be continued to push the presidential candidates to address a real urban agenda.
