As we approach the city election on 14 September, I spoke to Willow Aliento at the #FifthEstate about how cities are practicing the #ESG mantra through civic leadership. Global cities like #Sydney have added responsibilities as the heartbeats of our society – they’re where we make urban transformation and sustainable liveability happen.
