Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez closed the Bloomberg CityLab forum in Madrid on 28 April 2026, emphasizing the growing role of cities in global affairs. He said that cities now “act and determine the course of global events” and called for action in three areas. First, the climate‑change fight, noting Vitoria‑Gasteiz, Barcelona and Pontevedra as benchmarks for decarbonisation and sustainable mobility. Second, housing, urging the Law on the Right to Housing to help communities identify stressed areas and curb rising prices. Third, social inclusion, urging mayors to champion openness, diversity and evidence‑based leadership. Sánchez met with Bloomberg’s Michael Bloomberg and London Mayor Sadiq Khan to discuss city challenges and European values.
