Survey of European mayors: City leaders need support to tackle housing and social crises

Published two weeks ahead of the European elections, the second annual Eurocities Pulse Mayors Survey, which collected results from 92 mayors in 28 European countries, uncovered the main trends, challenges and priorities that shape urban affairs in 2024.

The survey also confirms that climate change remains the top priority for city leaders overall, along with social equity and inclusion, affordable housing, and sustainable mobility. As was the case in 2023, well over half of mayors put climate action as their top priority for 2024, more than double any other category.
