After transforming nearly 86,500 square feet of streets in 16 U.S. cities since 2020, our Asphalt Art program is expanding to 26 new American cities.

We're simplifying the search for climate solutions with a newly published, free resource called NetZero Pathfinders. With a downloadable report and online tools to search specific topics and best practices, NetZero Pathfinders is a powerful way to find local, national, and international climate policy solutions that will move us toward a growing, decarbonized economy.
Cities are home to more than half of the world's population, and city leaders are uniquely positioned to help transform public health. Watch the playlist to see how the Partnership for Healthy Cities — launched by Mike, the World Health Organization, and Vital Strategies in 2017 — is working to reduce smoking, prevent traffic deaths, respond to COVID-19, and more in cities around the world.
Last week, we partnered with Johns Hopkins University to launch the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation. With a $43 million dollar investment, it will be a hub and resource for city leaders to receive specialized training in creative problem solving in local government, and will also conduct research on the impact of these practices. The Center will serve as the home for several flagship Bloomberg Philanthropies Government Innovation programs.
