Tonight, #Istanbul has spoken clearly: our collective desire for #democracy shines brighter than ever, marking a pivotal step towards #unity and the end of polarization. At a time when the world witnesses a retreat from democratic values, our city stands as a beacon of hope and #change. #tamyolileri

As COVID-19 overtook Europe three years ago local authorities scrambled to respond to the crisis. This week @POLITICOEurope takes stock of the pandemic's impact on cities: How many "provisional" measures became permanent ... And how many just faded away? politico.eu/article/covid-19…
How COVID-19 changed cities — and how it didn’t

It's time to step up our support to Ukraine. This is what the #GeneratorsofHope campaign is all about. Ukraine needs energy for hospitals, schools & homes. With the help of European cities, we will provide a massive supply of power generators. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/1OyJAVqoE…
