Planning for economic crises

With limited revenue in many cities, new mayors will need to align management strategies to overcome financial difficulties. According to experts, prioritizing essential areas such as health and education, while seeking to increase revenue without burdening citizens, will be a crucial point for administrative stability.

Furthermore, the impact of inflation and unemployment increases the demands for public policies for social inclusion. Programs that encourage local entrepreneurship and attract foreign investment can be alternatives to stimulate economic growth.

Advances in sustainability

Another topic also highlighted in the new municipal administrations is sustainability. Mayors of medium and large cities have already announced projects to expand selective collection and the use of clean energy. In parallel, smaller municipalities seek partnerships for various initiatives, such as preserving natural resources and combating deforestation.

The need for environmental policies became even more evident with recent extreme weather events, which affected thousands of Brazilians. Therefore, the commitment to a more sustainable future is among society’s main expectations.

With the inauguration ceremonies concluded, mayors now have the responsibility to materialize their proposals into actions that promote economic growth, social justice and sustainability.
