With Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb <\/p>\n
\n
On this episode of our podcast, former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter and former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed speak with Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb on creating a city that\u2019s easily accessible for all residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if you live in urban America or rural America, everyone wants the same thing,\u201d Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said on the latest episode of The Citizen\u2019s\u00a0How To\u00a0Really\u00a0Run A City.\u00a0\u201cThey want a job they can get to in 15 minutes, they want a hospital or pharmacy within 15 minutes, they want a park or a grocery store or bars or restaurants, all within 15 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bibb went on to explain to our hosts, former Philly mayor Michael Nutter and former Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, how he is turning his Ohio city into a convenient, accessible, bona fide 15-minute city \u2014 and what is needed to sustain that work.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople really want walkability,\u201d Bibb said. \u201cThey want safety and thriving neighborhoods and overall thriving cities. But we as mayors can\u2019t do this by ourselves. We need a federal government that\u2019s actually working. It has to be working with our governors and mayors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bibb, a charismatic 38-year-old (and cousin to the first Black primetime newscaster in Ohio), will almost certainly be reelected next week, and both Reed and Nutter quickly picked up on his \u201cget sh*t done\u201d vibe.<\/p>\n
\u201cA mayor is a reflection of their city,\u201d Reed said, \u201chow it feels and how it will be there [for its people].\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Nutter said.<\/p>\n
