The City Mayors Foundation believes that a competitive project like The World Mayor Project is able persuade citizens to engage more strongly with the work of their mayors and at the same time provide them an opportunity to learn about the challenges faced by cities around the world. This project was conceived to commend city leaders chosen by an international audience.
The participants of the World Mayor Project are invited to nominate city leaders who have demonstrated pre-eminence in qualities such as honesty and open governance, leadership and vision, management abilities, financial acumen, social and economic awareness, ability to provide security and to protect the environment, in addition to displaying the will and ability to foster tolerance and amity among communities of different cultural, racial and social backgrounds. In accordance to the qualities, Mayor Naheed Nenshi, the Mayor of Calgary, Canada was awarded the 2014 World Mayor Prize.
So, congratulations to Mayor Nenshi for his award and for being an outstanding mayor.
