UCLG co-organized, the 22nd of March, the round table of mayors that was held in the framework of the Rio World Urban Forum.
Near to 250 people attended the event and participated in the debates.
On this occasion Augusto Barrera, Mayor of Quito and Co-President of UCLG, reminded of the importance of defining public policies in consultation with all spheres of government, as well as the need to endow local authorities with the means and competencies to meet the needs of their citizens, if the international community truly wish to attain the Millennium Development Goals.
