Los Angeles is one of the most complex and fascinating cities in the country. Much like the rest of California and the Ten Across region more broadly, LA is on the leading edge of climate change—battling increasingly intense wildfires and water shortages, as well as socioeconomic divides that have resulted in a significant homeless population. The city also renders a compelling depiction of the American Dream tied with issues of immigration, global trade, transportation, and energy production. Leading such a city requires thinking beyond conventional boundaries.

Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter chats with outgoing Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti about his time in office and the role of cities in our society to take on the country’s biggest challenges.
