How democratically elected mayors can achieve mission-oriented policies in turbulent times
基于对英格兰132位决策者的访谈，研究民主选举的市长如何通过健康城市发展案例推动使命导向政策，发现市长可发挥象征、协调、创新等作用，但需中央政府更多支持。
This article explores how democratically elected mayors can achieve mission-oriented policies in turbulent times. Drawing on 132 interviews with decision-makers in England, it uses the case of healthy urban development to explore the role of elected mayors in mission delivery. Findings show that mayors can be figureheads for a place, work directly towards national missions, implement cross-cutting programmes, convene partnerships, and lead local innovations with new evidence and data. However, more central government support is needed with investment in capacity, a broader range of powers, and greater freedom from central targets and siloes.
