Future City: Hillary Schieve

Addressing the surging mental health crisis is one of the most pressing issues facing cities around the world. We turn to one of the US leaders who had made it her mission to tackle this crisis head on – and reinvent her city for the better.

Hillary Schieve, mayor of Reno, has made it a priority since assuming office to create a downtown environment that attracts residents, students, businesses and visitors. She is known as ‘The Reinventor’ for her role in the positive transformation of Reno, now a hub for tech entrepreneurs and companies and a centre for the arts. She is currently President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and chairs the task force on mental health.

The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis, with staggering increases in stress, depression, isolation, loneliness, and accompanying mental health hurdles faced by Americans of all ages. Addressing this surging mental health crisis is one of the most pressing issues facing America’s cities. It’s also a growing problem for cities here, too. What can we learn from US cities?
