LSE Cities and the School of Public Policy are launching a three‑year leadership capacity‑building programme to support England’s expanding group of regional and Metro Mayors. Part of a wider Bloomberg Philanthropies initiative, the programme aims to strengthen the institutional capability of Mayoral Strategic Authorities (MSAs) and advance the UK’s devolution agenda. With many MSAs still developing their structures and expertise, the programme offers tailored executive education for Mayors and senior officers, supported by action‑oriented research and practical implementation guidance.
Delivered jointly by LSE Cities and the School of Public Policy, and in partnership with universities across England, the programme will take place in London and in participating MSA cities. It builds on the Bloomberg LSE European City Leadership Initiative while ensuring learning is grounded in local contexts. Strategic leadership will come from both LSE units, supported by a small professional services team including a dedicated Programme Lead. The Programme Lead will be crucial in maintaining momentum, building credibility with MSAs, LSE, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, and ensuring the programme delivers lasting impact for participating mayoral teams.
