Welcome to the Bloomberg Sagol Center for City Leadership at Tel Aviv University!

In 2022, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Sagol Family launched the Bloomberg Sagol Center for City Leadership at Tel Aviv University to strengthen mayoral and local leadership across Israel. Inspired by the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, the program helps mayors of cities across Israel – north and south, large, and small, Jewish- and Arab led – deliver better public services to residents, strengthen social bonds, and deepen ties to the global community of innovative city leaders. As part of the center's current operations, it operates the Bloomberg Sagol Leadership Program at Tel Aviv University for mayors and senior managers of local authorities. In addition, it operates a research center and the Innovation Track. Watch a clip from our opening Galla of Cohort 1.
